    Same here after 11, they forget that the users create the value, they’re only the middlemen.

      They know users create the value but in order to turn that value into a form that makes investors happy they have to squeeze the users. It’s like a digital Macquarie Island and we’re all penguins.

        There are ways to accomplish that without being overtly hostile to the people who give your site value. He’s just choosing to do it in the stupidest way possible.

                You’re right that it’s good he chose the stupid way because it shows people exactly how he feels. You’d just think that he’d want to choose the most profitable way rather than pissing off the unpaid people who give his site value. Ah, well.

      Which is why I ran Power Delete Suite on my account on the way out. I created a lot of value and they apparently didn’t appreciate that, so now it’s all gone.

          13 year user here. Well, I only managed half as much as you, but that’s my plan as well.

          Just gotta make sure to do it before the API change, or else the tools to wipe your comments will likely cease to function.
