Idk. I’ve also used company email or storage to do one-off private stuff. If allowed. It gets yet more complicated once you’re a freelancer. Or do social media stuff or programming and it’s both your hobby and your job. I can somehow relate to that. We don’t know that person’s exact situation and reasoning. All we can do here is speculate and either give them the benefit of the doubt, or not.

And ultimately I think companies have a right to exist, too. I like that they write articles for me to read. I invite journalists over to have a look at the nice projects I’m doing. I don’t see a big issue with that. Of course they’re very different from me. All their professional life revolves around reach, publicity and attention. That’s probably some big category in their thinking and less so in mine.

Yeah, the post wasn’t particularly great quality. More an experiment. I mean the atmosphere in the comments was good. I’ve seen worse.

Idk. Let’s stop talking about this. It’s getting late here and I think we could go on forever about some details. Things happen and I think not everything is worth writing a novel about. And ultimately none of that is my call. I wish you the best.
