Its easy to say that Oliver over analyzes things or is overly critical. If you read his posts, he always has a pretty valid arguement...you may not agree with it but its totally valid. That the beautiful part about a message board, if people were all in agreement and happy, noone would have anything to talk about. That said:
I dont know one way or the other if Mark cares about staying relevant. I can guarantee you that Marks "people" care. They care because in the end like it or not, everyone has to get paid. I'm not making this into a money debate, thats been done to death.
For the record I do believe that Mark is primarily the driving force behind blink now and genuinely enjoys what hes doing.
If Mark wasn't relevant, he wouldn't be making money, which we all need to make to survive.
If Mark chose to wear a Dolce and Gabbana suit he'd look super handsome btw.
