I am in no conflict with dmoz, but the above statement is pretty lame.
It is the same as saying the (media) news are made for users (viewers). The story and all involved doesn't have to be true and can favour one view, harming another.
The users won't complain, they have no idea of additional factors and will mostly swallow whatever is presented to them. |
I see nothing "lame" about the statement at all. What's lame is the fact that people are
still not getting it. As per your example I'm assuming the "users" you speak of are people who use the directory? And the "media" is the directory itself? Then where do the webmasters fit in??? I'll tell you...NOWHERE. The directory was NOT created for them, which was my whole point in the first place.
If we were to go with your "logic". We could say the same about Google and
it's users. Sure webmasters "whine" when they can't get ranked in Google but that's about the extent of it because everyone knows Google is a search engine that people use for searching the web, not a free listing service for webmasters to make money and get traffic. Would a webmaster "freak out" and send emails to Google demanding to know why they aren't being included? Not likely, although I'm sure some do.
Why should it be any different with DMOZ??
Get some knowledge under your belt before you sound off about things you obviously know little about.
