Interesting that the Tim Cook piece garnered 3k+ points/1k comments while Curtis gets 68/17. A CEO's sexual preference pales in comparison to the problems and ideas that Curtis exposes, IMO.
Neither interesting, nor surprising really. Curtis requires people to pay attention and think before they comprehend what he is saying. The Cook piece merely required them to click "like".
Of course. Since when popularity equates intelligence? Truth is that traction is so important here that values are twisted.
