Edison did a lot of good, but he was a massive jackass.

Because they believe in the fantasy that Tesla was the "real genius" who created the modern world. In actuality, Tesla is just as overrated as Edison. He did not invent AC technology. Not even close. Without Tesla's "genius", the world would be no different today.

This Russian did more for AC tech than Telsa ever did, and he was a minor player.

Because those people tend to worship Nikola Tesla and believe Edison was evil and sabotaged their hero.

And at least Edison did invent something that changed the world. He independently conceived the phonograph (the first device capable of playing back recorded sound) and was the first to build it.

Not really. That topic is basically full of people saying "Edison is the worst!" while giving extremely vague reasons at best

I hate Tesla worship. I often have to edit out the Teslaphilia seen in wiki articles on AC technology. Tesla was a very minor player in the development of AC.

In fairness, Edison was an ass, but in fairness to that fairness, Hollywood became big because he was an ass.

But being an ass is a pretty fine detail on the impact that a guy who made a trillion inventions a year.
