… is that why this post has had unusually many downvotes?
Nah, I’d expect it’s more broadly because it’s making an arrogant-feeling claim that the organization-design market is inefficient and that you think you can beat it. Explicitly suggesting that a world in which the median person were you wouldn’t be like this maybe put that in sharper relief, but I don’t think this specific framing was a leading cause at all.
There might also be some backlash from people who’d previously interfaced with relatively more benign big organizations, who are weary of these sorts of models and view them as overly cynical/edgy.
