What is the consensus on the etiquette of tweeting/casting about exceptionally bad interactions with vendors other founders might be tempted to use? I hate complaining, and think a lot of complaints make the individual (not the vendor) look entitled, but also think others should know who to avoid.

I think as long as it's neutral - like they don't do what they advertise or something - it's fine. Like a product problem.

But if it's a 1o1 personal interaction then don't put them on blast.

Move on. Do no evil, speak no evil. We live in exceptional times. If it becomes corrosive, act for all.
