Seth Goldstein<p><strong>Matt Mullenweg Doesn’t Like Being Called Out On His Behavior</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.inc.com/dfreedman/matt-mullenweg-wordpress-wp-engine/90994969" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inc.com posted an article that their reporter did with Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress.</a></p><p>In the article the reporter, David H. Freedman, doesn’t paint a sunshine and rainbows picture of the whole fiasco between Matt (et. al) and WP Engine.</p><p>Matt, in his right, responded calling the piece a “Hit Piece.”</p><p><a href="https://ma.tt/2024/12/inc-hit-piece/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ma.tt/2024/12/inc-hit-piece/</a></p><p>I don’t blame Matt for not liking being called out on his actions, but what does he honestly expect? Honestly, he put a, formerly mandatory, checkbox that made people swear allegiance to pineapple on pizza to log in to WordPress.com. It’s now optional. </p><p>I’d love to hear all of your thoughts.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/matt-mullenweg/" target="_blank">#MattMullenweg</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/matt-vs-wpe/" target="_blank">#MattVsWPE</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/wordpress/" target="_blank">#wordpress</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://sethgoldstein.me/tag/wpengine/" target="_blank">#wpengine</a></p>
