From a neutral view, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s where it gets complicated Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where it gets complicated

Just reading this, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which makes the reaction pretty predictable We’ll see how people react over time.

From a neutral view, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where people will push back That part stands out.

At this point, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s the key detail here. Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

From the outside, this solves one problem while creating another so the response doesn’t surprise me That part stands out. Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Just reading this, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s the key detail here. That’s the impression it gives me.
