Why?

Those last two, I pretty much avoid at all cost.

I think these go together; and make a lot of sense. I think this is the best answer to the 'why', and at least I understand it.

I still don't like it.... but....

I think the explained simply is what I prefer (or maybe expect?). I think another comment mentioned the 'safety' of being vague, and I can see that being very likely.

Not in 'Merica

In all fairness I provided that as a possible reason; I respect that it's a legitimate possibility.

The other comments though ensure that they _do_ exist - but they could be in the same scenario, or other people have just come happen to across the ones I have as well.

Not much of the initial conversation but I do think I have respect for marketing work, but I've a preference for different methods in that work. I would assume the versions I don't care much of come more from people far from the tool/service itself and higher up in the chain. But that's an educated guess.

imho - I would just imagine clear, concise, and direct explanation of features and specifications would be much more beneficial for the marketing team, sales teams, and overall company/group.

The funny part is, VMWares site is what sparked this conversation when I heard an ad on their VMWare Cloud service, and went to their site to see what it was about.

To this day I have zero idea.

^ this.

Value does not always equal right/healthy/good.

I get a lot of value out of drinking that is doing significantly more harm than good

I don’t disagree, but from their reply the request is community based. And any community based product is just a good as… well, their community.

So how would a different community tool provide better content? What tactics could be used to increase quality?

Is anki the solution you imagine? https://apps.ankiweb.net/ Or is there a use case that anki doesn’t solve?

It’s all I use but you can call it the “word window” for all I give a shit, nitpicking is just a synonym for argumentative+stubborn.

Inb4 you nitpick the definitions.
