Literally everyone has a PR problem - Government! Tech bros! Even that little old lady down the street can be spun negatively if a journalist wants to (she's probably conservative and racist).

But if you have a problem, those things magically disappear when you are trying to solve it. No one remembers that sexual harassment lawsuit against the fire department when their house catches on fire - they just call 911.

I honestly don't care what tech bros overall think about marketing. People are still picking up the phone and asking for help.

Unless that group is marketers, apparently.


Yes, one is a real thing with power and influence, the other is just a kind of young man you dislike.


Just mute "techbro" on Twitter if the term bothers you.

Sometimes I get annoyed that I get painted with the same brush as my most toxic coworkers, but I have the resources to cope. It's rarely an issue in my daily life.


I'm not in tech, nor on twitter so the only place I see it is here, on HN. I would definitely like a mute/block option.
