well, that's fine, but "i can't post there" comes off a little disingenuous then.

he meant "I can't post there because it makes me feel unclean"

Why should he sign up again to make one post? Why does it matter if someone posts that thought for him?

Nah. I decided to take a break some years back because of personal reasons (stress, anxiety, etcetera) and felt like I didn't really fit. It's not scorn (definitely not on an Ott-type caliber; this is not possible). More that I got fed up with the shit I was getting into, a lot of it my fault.
I can now. Registration took a couple hours. Not sure why I picked a late-period Sun Ra LP for my username other than that I like the record, but w/e

Whatever the rights and wrongs of any individual case, Ott always appears so obnoxious that if he were kidnapped by Somali pirates I'd feel bad for the pirates.

The ultimate problem for Apple, Beats and any other media distributor is that people want to experience art for themselves. These marketers speak in terms of data, simplification, and “music discovery,” an asinine formalization of “turning on the radio.” It’s not about discovery, the “user experience,” or their “trust” in your brand: it’s about finding a way we can arrive at music, on our own terms, free of the hype, advertisements, PR chicanery, and editorial bias you’re offering. We’re not paying you to tell us what to like: we’re paying you to provide us an easy platform through which to navigate music.
Shut up, and take our money.

[guy I've never heard of and have no reason to care about]’s CV reads like [incomprehensible reference to old-ass shitty movie], and [disclaimer that just leaves me more baffled. Plucked from the back room of [???] by [namedrop of some other dude I have never heard of and don't give a shit about] in [21 fucking years ago asshole, some of your readers are that age], Rogers lived out the decade as a hybrid digital hipster [what the fuck does that mean?], parlaying his double-threat reputation as a web designer and music industry insider into a lucrative if fruitless position at Yahoo! in the early 2000s [wanks, frustratingly unable to cum]. Honing an innate talent for concept-evangelism [motherfucker what?], Rogers absorbed the slick, bulletproof jargon [come again?] of his peers in digital marketing, and set out on his own, forming [Circle Jerx, Inc., now defunct] in 2007.
