Well, that's for you get for 'name two'. I forgot there's an option of avoiding the comparison even without using the word 'unlike'
What I am basically reading is "I will not compare to profitable companies" - because profit is not by which success is measured, right... If you wanted Jolla to be successful by greater transparency, like you're claiming (and I doubt it), then you wouldn't be avoiding comparisons to successful companies.
IMO you're basically throwing buzz words (transparency, openness) without any concrete ideas for improvement (not that they are buzz words per se, but now they are, without any concrete ideas), you refuse to provide any logical basis and evidence about why it should be better for Jolla, if it had more [buzz word] and you avoid any direct comparisons.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but you are either really bad at arguing your point of view, or you just too stubborn to listen to facts provided and to react to them.
Are you saying Jolla has reached the optimum level of transparency vs. business secrecy and nobody could do any better?
Remember: Jolla is a small company. Think of the wider world of SMBs and consider this point.
I can go to detail, and to companies, but let's try to sort out the macro level first. How would you answer these questions?

Again, just empty air blowing and no examples to be seen, with clear explanation how they'd be more open and what's the profitability like.
[damn me I already vowed to stay out of this silly arguing with brick walls but I just cannot help it...]
Like I said, we can start digging into specific SMB stories if we really must, but let's agree on the macro level first. Do you think it is possible to be more transparent while being profitable? Or do you think such companies probably don't exist?
I think helping their business would stem from less negativity in the community and thus more positive buzz around their products. I think keeping so many secrets and trying to control even the simplest messages too much has alienated some people and that could have been avoided with simply a little more brutal honesty.

Here is an example of one area where Jolla's PR and reality don't meet in the eyes of some:
https://together.jolla.com/question/...as-truly-open/
These would be the kinds of things needing to be clarified through better communication and perhaps more brutally honest PR too.
When you have to start making excuses for Jolla, like people do in that thread on TJC - and indeed many do here on this thread, it starts to look quite iffy. Has the movement really come down to excuses.

Well, I see the outcome of the poll as a result for this discussion inside this community. A minority of less than 25% really see a need of improvement.

Even if only 25% would vote "yes" (1 and 2) option then it should be considered seriously, but it's 50%.

I have experience only of large companies and I am working for one of those, a company that is not transparent in your sense even to employees working inside it.

How would I know? I'm not advocating your point of view, so why should I try to find companies that support your case. But given that you have spent 27 pages of discussion without a single example of a company that is more open, which would definitely help your case, I'd say they're hard to find huh?
You're turning to other people, like me, to find them for you, after all.You also failed to provide evidence to support your hypothesis "more [buzz word] would help Jolla", while other people have provided examples that would reject such hypothesis on some significance level (like examples of media turning around unnessessarily provided info). Given you also had 27 pages to present it, don't blame me for calling it a bluff

The point is: A more transparent Jolla would generate more positive engagement and less negative engagement.
