> ... on a landing page? Who cares.

I care. Wasting other people's resources is bad manners and contributes to a culture where waste is acceptable.

> waste of my time :/" is really toxic.

It was honest feedback. If others feel the same way the product marketing team is making a potentially serious mistake. Give me info, not anime android animations. It wasn't toxic.

> but you couldn't even get past a landing page because it had some gifs is really just your loss, not anybody else's.

If other people feel the same way, it very definitely stops being my problem and becomes the product's problem as people get turned off it. That was a core point you missed.

> could have linked you to https://docs.radicle.xyz/docs/what-is-radicle.html.

Why in your view was this not on the front page at the top?

> but your comment ... but they aren't doing you justice

Thanks (genuinely) but I stand by this. It said what was wrong (IMO). it said what I wanted (again IMO), it was honest if blunt feedback the marketeers could use to decide if my point had merit (if they can admit they might have been wrong).

We differ but I appreciate your constructive feedback.
