No one knows or cares what "unfiltered" means. My initial take was "unfiltered" meant "straight talk." There's no reason for a casual visitor to have any clue it means "rando blog rant spam."
This sort of post on this sort of domain is implicitly endorsed by the corporation and it's malpractice to pretend otherwise.
sytse, there's no one else I know who's your equal in the kind of leadership you show in managing GitLab.
The transparency, the honesty in everything GitLab does is truly astonishing. Thanks for letting folks like me who know next-to-nothing about building companies be a fly-on-the-wall from oceans away, watch your meetings on YouTube, go through your plans and processes, observe eng designs and discussions around them, among other valuable career-building things. What you're doing is tectonic, all the while continuing to grow what's already a huge business.
Thank you.

That's increasing opaqueness.
No. There’s a notice saying it’s unfiltered, with a link leading to a disclaimer saying, pretty much:
> it's like a free-for-all where any employee can post whatever they want without any review.
Or, in their own words:
> This blog is intended for user-generated content submitted by the GitLab team. The views and opinions represented in this blog are personal to the author of each respective blog post and do not represent the views or opinions of GitLab unless explicitly stated.
That employee being the CEO ;)
