Congrats, you reached the "Peak of Mount Stupid" on the Dunning-Kruger Effect graph.

Just admit it, you know nothing about marketing or PR.

It's true, I don't. But that doesn't mean he does. He clearly chooses to do PR and marketing differently than 95% of all other businesses. I'm highlighting that, and saying maybe that "good PR" doesn't always equal good for his employees, customers or community. We need to take into account the cost, not just seek PR for PR sake.

Probably the reason why he's so successful. Ever considered that?

No marketing, no customers. No customers, no business. No business, no employees.

My point is that extra success you point to above and beyond his peers isn't worth what he does to get it. He could be 90% as successful and 100% less of a dick and that would be a better tradeoff for him, the people that work with and interact with him, the people he harasses, and the rest of us.
