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.
