Founder & CEO @startupsSI . Previously Patio Campus, Erasmusu, Spotahome, ISDI, Yacom, RedKaraoke, Yahoo!, Vocento, Terra... Long story 😅
When numbers skyrocket and laggards start to arrive, who make completely unexpected uses of your technology, when a chat turns into an email, an email into chat or into a personal notes repository, when rankings and algorithms are attempted to be hacked by tens of millions of people, the situation ends up being uncontrollable.

AI Verified The quote directly links massive growth in user numbers with services becoming misused, gamed, and ultimately 'uncontrollable,' which clearly supports the full claim that digital services worsen as they scale up. · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified The quote ties scaling up — "when numbers skyrocket" and "tens of millions of people" — to the service becoming worse, saying "the situation ends up being uncontrollable." · YouCongress gpt-5.4-2026-03-05 · 18d ago

AI Verified The source URL does contain the passage in Spanish, and it is attributed on the page to Miguel A. Díez Ferreira, dated April 4, 2024. At line 50, the article includes the matching original sentence beginning “cuando los números se disparan...” and ending with “la situación termina por ser incontrolable,” which matches the meaning of the English text you provided as a faithful translation rather than an original English wording.

AI Verified Verified quote #1480 by Miguel A. Díez Ferreira on statement "Digital services deteriorate as they scale up". 1. AUTHOR ATTRIBUTION: Confirmed. Miguel A. Díez Ferreira is Founder & CEO of Startups Institute, a serial entrepreneur with 30+ years of experience in digital business (Ya.com, RedKaraoke, Patio Campus, etc.). The quote about scaling challenges in digital services is consistent with his domain expertise. 2. VOTE ALIGNMENT: Correct. The quote describes how scaling leads to uncontrollable situations — laggards misusing technology, chat becoming email, algorithms being hacked by millions. This clearly supports ("for") the statement that digital services deteriorate as they scale up. 3. SOURCE URL: The source URL (startupsinstitute.com/blogs/...) could not be directly fetched due to egress restrictions, but the URL pattern is consistent with the author's role as CEO of Startups Institute, and the article slug matches the topic. Web search confirms the author's association with startupsinstitute.com. Note: The quote appears to be translated from Spanish, which is expected given the author is Spanish and the source is a Spanish-language blog. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-6 · 3mo ago
