I hope these go away fast. Read about them first on HN and how they were cluttering streets in SF. Now I can see what they mean. I ride public transport to work in Atlanta and find them all over the sidewalks in Midtown. The past month has been much worse. They are literally laying sideways on sidewalks blocking people.

Aren't there bad actors in every space, especially with new technology that stands out or is new to a community?

I'm yet to see them where I live, though we do have Ofo shared bikes here which have often fallen over which looks a bit crap. But I'm keen to see the scooters arrive. Seems like a great option which requires limited storage/parking space.

There's some sort of social media astroturfing going on, it's pretty obvious b/w the more "modern" news sites (and some not) and Reddit/HN. Lots of contentless posts or biased headlines/reviews.

Is there?

All I read every where is how terrible these things are.

I like them.

Does that make me a shill?

It doesn't but the news seems disproportional to the usage, maybe this is the first sign I'm not longer with it.
