They're standing up for the little guys being oppressed but peering through their history makes me see how much they have lived a privileged period of earning and not minding what they complain about until it bites them.

I go out of my way to help other users not to get on the HW blacklist for the benign reasons of not sourcing a reference image properly or just verifying it's them across social media. This is just a small way to care for the new users that maybe try to bring in more users to the platform. WTP just posts for a quota and barely interacts outside his blog because he can't be bothered to spend more time on a hobby that gives him free money. Now the cash cow got taken away so he's got nothing else to lose.

That whole oppressed little people spiel is somewhat disturbing.

One would have to first see themselves as superior, and believe those below them can't function or succeed on their own without help, in order to be champion of the people and boast about it.

In general, most people are helpful. But you never see someone announcing to the world, "Look at me! I'm holding the door open for this nice little old lady!" ... for a reason, until you visit social media.

But I digress.

But oppression spiel sells and it's what is getting WTP views on the post, probably the most views he had ever.

Luckily people can leave then recycle all that 'work' into something Blurt stakeholders will have to pay for now.

Contributing to devaluing what some here view as competition is a noble act. So there's that, at least.


Edit: Only took them four months...
