Perhaps it’s a legal win but the PR disaster remains.

As our company thinks about a new website vendor, WordPress is off the table because of the nonsense.

I can't imagine the professional reputational damage I'd incur if I were to recommended wordpress, or worse, wordpress.com after all of this.

  • Genuinely, why? What kind of visions of reputational damage does having your marketing website on wordpress.com conjure up to you?

    How would anyone even know where it’s hosted?

    I get the guy pissed off some php devs but I’m sure as hell not hosting that shit myself, marketing team content can be their problem.
