You’re overlooking the fact that w3w seems clever, easy to understand, and accessible to simpletons like me. Call it good marketing, whatever, it works as a means of supplying a very precise location quickly and easily. I’m sure there are better ways to do that, but will they cut through?

This is a normal post its not a terrible idea, but I think it's utility is limited
it's based around a fading print paradigm that people will need to record or memorise something, like a long website names, or some three word phrase in this case, in order to use it. If something is communicated in digital format, which most things are exclusively these days, you don't actually need to expose this code to users, just give them a button or link to click on. A website name at least also functions as branding, or for search engine for people who only kind of remember it, but people aren't going to google trout.mask.replica in the hope of finding a location.
The main plus as I see it is dividing the world up into 1m grid or whatever it is has a certain user-friendliness to it being a scale humans can relate to, it's a clever idea, but any of the mapping companies could easily implement this and what3words don't own any of the mapping data, they just licence it

Never assign to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. The government was clueless and sprayed money around in a panic. Some people undeservedly got some and I believe HMRC and others are having a good look at some of the payments.

The Good Law Project also seems to have a habit of losing or dropping cases. The one they put up against Kate Bingham was quietly dropped. I'll have more confidence in this bunch when people start actually appearing in court instead of videos on Twitter.

This is a normal post I'm not saying you're wrong
I think you've got a good point but as far as The Good Law project losing cases, that's not an issue. They gather evidence, present cases and some are strong enough to go before a judge and some have won. Even if they've got a very small success rate the bar for prosecution's pretty high and shining a light on incompetence, corruption of that blurry line where they become one and the same is vital for the sake of of all of us.

I guess if you're spraying money around in a panic most of it'll go to the people you know best, your business connections, colleagues, donors etc. but that's still a corrupt process. Thoughtless, unplanned, random, incompetent corruption is still... corruption.
