WORST KEPT SECRET IN THE WEB DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY EXPOSED
In a shocking turn of events, WordPress hosting service WP Engine has sent a scathing cease-and-desist letter to Automattic, accusing its CEO Matt Mullenweg of being a backstabbing, power-hungry tyrant who will stop at nothing to crush his competitors.
MATT MULLENWEG: THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
According to the letter, Mullenweg threatened to destroy WP Engine’s reputation and livelihood if they didn’t bow down to his demands for a hefty sum of money. And when they refused, he went on a smear campaign against them, spreading lies and half-truths to the WordPress community.
AUTOMATTIC’S DIRTY LAUNDRY EXPOSED
The letter reveals that Automattic has been demanding tens of millions of dollars from WP Engine in exchange for the right to use the "WordPress" trademark. But WP Engine refused, citing fair use laws and the platform’s guidelines. And to make matters worse, Automattic has been trying to silence WP Engine by threatening to ban them from the community.
MULLENWEG’S HYPOCRISY EXPOSED
But what’s even more shocking is that Mullenweg has been criticizing WP Engine for not giving back to the open-source community, while he himself has been hoarding the majority of the profits from WordPress. And in a desperate attempt to justify his own greed, he’s been spreading lies about WP Engine’s contribution to the community.
THE TRUTH ABOUT WP ENGINE
So, what’s the truth about WP Engine? Are they really the "cancer to WordPress" that Mullenweg claims they are? Or are they just a company that’s trying to make a profit while still contributing to the community? The answer is clear: WP Engine is a company that’s committed to providing quality hosting services to its customers, while Mullenweg is a power-hungry CEO who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
THE FUTURE OF WORDPRESS
So, what does this mean for the future of WordPress? Will Mullenweg’s greed and tyranny continue to dominate the community, or will WP Engine’s commitment to fairness and transparency prevail? One thing is certain: the WordPress community will never be the same again.
