this just in: people with no sense of humour over-react to light hearted (unfunny) joke made by a company who do more good in one day than they’ve done in their life to date.
fucking grow up people. everyone’s doing cringe jokes for April fool’s. should be be re-named SEO whore day.
When I first saw it on March 31st, I was a bit annoyed. When I read the fake press release on April 1st, I chuckled a bit but was mostly just relieved that it was, indeed, a prank. The reference to finding the emotional climax of a This American Life episode left little doubt that it was just a joke.
haha quality article/piece. Still I can see why/how the soundcloud one went down like a lead balloon and the ‘old’ look/way it worked was indeed just fine I agree the angry mob user base on that one. Thanks for the roundup attack, I have been/still am Ill over easter and april 1st so missed it all
Here’s an interesting bit of social psychology: users are taking it upon themselves to insert a ” <— HERE'S THE DROP" comment at a particular spot on the waveform to actually emulate the implementation of this feature. I've seen it in more than a handful of waveforms lately. At first I supposed it was just humor, but now I think people are taking it seriously.
Ali, please tell me you are talking about any other company but SoundCloud…..when a company’s policies time and time again are like having jokes played on you, then yes, we a sense of humour lack.
