    Serious question:

    Why is their name blurred when they openly stated they are the one that created the product?

    A quick search shows exactly who they are?

    I’m serially trying to understand if this is an etiquette in the industry, or something? I’m admittedly ignorant when it comes to tech.

      It’s a common internet thing that’s probably mostly done just out of habit, it doesn’t have any purpose like 90% of the time, but is generally the standard just for those few times where it might actually help

      It’s the whole anti brigading thing. But I think if you’re dumb enough to post an ass take in public circles, you deserve the heat. Mods just make it a blanket rule to blur out names so they don’t have to actually read anything lol
