| Dec 5, 2024 at 14:48 | comment | added | F1Krazy | @BryanKrause OP has already stated that they have no interest in being "productive", they're merely here to do the "you just lost a customer" thing (and indeed they now appear to have gone through with their promise of deleting all their network profiles). | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 14:06 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | @Vilarinof You won't say what "shady" ways you find unacceptable, you won't say what you find acceptable. Not very productive. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 13:57 | comment | added | VLAZ | @BryanKrause Yes - you seem to be very interested in validating complaints. So, I'm giving you more opportunities to do so. There are a lot more restaurants than SE. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 13:50 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | @VLAZ Huh? It's more like it's valid to complain that your sandwich should have been made a different way or perhaps is overpriced, but if you write a comment card saying sandwiches should be free to everyone that one can just go right in the bin. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 13:25 | comment | added | VLAZ | @BryanKrause OK, then please also go around restaurants and tell unhappy customers that they should cook themselves. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 13:23 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | @VLAZ If their position is that no way the company makes revenue is acceptable to them, their complaint is meaningless. Something has to pay the bills, money isn't magic. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 13:20 | comment | added | VLAZ | @BryanKrause their point is they don't like this change. One doesn't need to know how to make a given dish to say that they don't like it. Claiming otherwise would be an invalid dismissal of the complaint. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 13:08 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | @Vilarinof I was trying to understand how you see the situation, to decide whether you had a valid point or not. It seems not. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 9:49 | comment | added | user1466496 | @BryanKrause You seem to believe I am open to debate or something. I am not. I was just making my discontent clear. I do not care about whether or not SE pays their bills, the responsibility to do so is on them, not on the users who provide the volunteer labor they profit from. | |
| Dec 5, 2024 at 1:06 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek | Personally, as someone deeply invested in the network - between SE's generally enlightened philosophy towards adblockers and track record, its less the presence of ads than their content, and potential trackers that's a potential issue. I'd give SE a lot more slack over this if they seemed more proactive about certain issues of community health, and proving they're trust worthy. Ads and profit are less a problem than how the relationship between the company and community is. | |
| Dec 4, 2024 at 17:10 | comment | added | Bryan Krause | What are the fairly shady ways that SE already profits? If not those shady ways and not ads, how do you want SE to pay their bills? | |
| Dec 4, 2024 at 13:53 | comment | added | user1466496 | @Spevacus You are correct and I worded that very poorly. Still, the point is that I object to the change. | |
| Dec 4, 2024 at 13:41 | comment | added | Spevacus StaffMod | Ads have been on the platform for a long time. The only thing new here are the types of ads we're getting. | |
