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

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.

12 year user with 700k comment karma. Power washing my account by months end.

I ended up using redact.dev to overwrite everything and then delete

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.

This feels like an odd episode to be hosted on "all things comedy".

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.

[โ€“] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's either overtly hostile or covertly hostile

[โ€“] samus12345@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Covertly hostile is the smarter way to do it.

[โ€“] buckykat@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It may be, but I honestly prefer overt hostility, it just makes things clearer.

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.
