Dan is only rude to people he doesn’t respect, which is most people. 

i already regret engaging with this, but want to give some building in public perspective

- building in public is hard
- for every 100 people giving you feedback, max 4 know what they are talking about and you’re lucky if 1 has actually a good idea
- your metrics are public so even the 96 clueless people feel like they are right if numbers go down
- for every 100 people giving you feedback you have another 100 people shitting on you for trying to build something new
- and there is probably 10 people in your dms fighting for the scraps of the attention
- and all of them think "listening to feedback" means "adding their idea TODAY"

on top of that people judge you for your financial situation, previous achievements etc

as a founder you have 3 ways out of this:
- stfu and start interacting with your users less
- have your pr team double check everything you write
- continue being yourself and post whatever you have on your mind

only one option is right, even though it may lead to some hurt feelings

As simplistic and sycophantic as it sounds I’m pretty much Team Dan on most interactions I see him in
