There are two arguments being made in this thread: - Pocket integration is bad because Pocket is a commercial third-party service. - Pocket integration is bad because the feature is not useful, or not sufficiently useful to enough people. The email I've quoted is a perfect example of the second argument. But it's the first argument that's the important one here. If Mozilla had implemented its own Pocket-like feature would there be a vehement thread like this one? No. There might be some quibbling -- "maybe that could just be an add-on" -- but the reaction would be much milder. What I'm saying is this: don't mix up the two arguments above. If you're really upset by the Pocket integration, it's almost certainly because of the first argument above, so don't get side-tracked by the second argument.
