Someone by the name of V. Minakhin. They have an irrational hatred of Bayesian statistics. He blocked me on twitter for pointing out his claim about significant companies do not use Bayesian methods is contradicted by the fact that I work for one of those companies and use Bayesian methods.

Netflix uses Bayesian methods all over the place. In a meeting presenting new methods, I called squinting at A/B test results and considering them in the context of prior knowledge "shoot-from-the-hip cowboy Bayes". This eventually lead to a Cowboy Bayes T-shirt, hat and all.
