I think it’s actually pretty silly. The same people demanding you no-hello them (that is, try to enforce a social solution on everyone else to solve something they can easily solve technically) will also tell you to e.g. use an as blocker, or go on about Postel’s law.
If a random slack message is going to ruin your concentration, that’s a you problem. Fix it on your end.
I agree, it doesn’t especially bother me. But if I don’t want notifications, I mute them. I don’t demand other people accommodate my inability to manage my own attention.
I guess just blocking literal “Netflix” will cause 90% (99%?) of searches by consumers that “just want to watch Netflix” to fail. And if no one is finding scammers’ ads, maybe there will also be fewer scammers.
So perhaps the dumb approach is “effective enough”.
Presumably the pay is great if you already live there, but not good enough to convince people to move there?
Personally, it would take a 50%-100% raise before I would even consider consider uprooting my family and leaving my current city. But I’d switch jobs locally for half that.
Getting harder to buy products that don't suffer from these kinds of problems as Electron enables producers to cheap out on software development at the cost of user time and energy.

It’s an arms race of bad faith complaints leading to watered down responses, and mediocre responses leading to faux-outraged complaints, all involving a peanut gallery of online haters.
I agree with avoiding publicity (in this sense e.g by replying to online complaints or attacks, other than to redirect to a private channel), though I don’t like it.
When is a bad faith complaint not actually intelligence gathering to see what behind the scenes or non public safety/security measures they have in place to ensure they dont fall foul of bad faith complaints?
Social Media is a classic "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" spook ideology turned on the business sector, and various coping strategies are highlighted in this article.
1. He explained himself clearly to a journalist.
2. The journalist understood what he was saying.
3. The journalist relayed it clearly and accurately.
4. He or the journalist didn’t exaggerate his success story.
To your specific point I read that as a layman’s explanation of bias, and not at all as actually implying that if a 1, 2, 3 comes up then it’s sure to be a 4, 5, 6 next.
Random but a friend of mine started https://funden.app/ which aims to help founders with this exact problem. (Never tried it myself, but apparently many folks have had success with it).
