WP:FAR first step

This is an absurdly promotional and detailed page. This is not what a featured WP page should look like. I am somewhat baffled that this version was promoted to FA at all, as even then it was promotional. here is the diff comparing then to now, btw.

The excessive quoting from the founders, the laundry list of media mentions - all this kind of stuff is classic PR, not even aiming for the mission of providing people with knowledge. From a business perspective this website was basically a get rich quick gimmick. And that main perspective is almost absent in this "article".

It would take a pretty drastic rewrite to make this even a decent page, content-wise. Because this is FA I wanted to post here first. Jytdog (talk) 23:26, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

btw the harvard law library blog posting cited here, gives a fairly reasonable perspective on this from the view of 2017. Jytdog (talk) 23:28, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
