Do founders' political views affect how you see a product?

2•rishikeshs•1h ago
There is a product I really like. Love using it, love tinkering with it, and I buy into the overall vision. Founder has also always been pretty respectful publicly.

But I recently came across some of their political views and now I just feel a bit weird about it. Nothing changed about the product, just how I feel.

Do you separate the product from the founder? Does this change whether you keep using something? Or only if it starts showing up in the product?

Don’t ask what the product is. It doesn’t matter and I’m not going to share.

> Do you separate the product from the founder?

Yes… if the founder does. I don't care on which side of which ring they are as long as they keep me out of their pointless fights.

Interesting! Yeah founder never imposed or brought those into the conversation
