So many tech companies have NO clue how people use/need their services. Dropbox emailing me because I have "unused storage space" in my account. Amazon, asking if I want to order a second £400 router, 1 week after the first. Uber messaging that I can get a 10% discount if I "book a ride right now"

Everyone’s all for “collaboration” and sharing intel until you reach out to anyone at Google. Then your message disappears into the void, never to return.

![36. Several days later, FOLTZ and Slaykings returned to discussing the fallout that
they expected to befall their rival group, with Slaykings stating “Krebs is very revenge.
He won’t stop until they are [expletive] to the bone.” FOLTZ responded, “Surprised they
have any bots left.” Slaykings then expounded (corrected for grammar and spelling) “Krebs
is not the one you want to have on your back. Not because he is scary or something, just
because he will not give up UNTIL you are [expletive] [expletive]. Proved it with Mirai
