You’re asserting users are selfish. I don’t know what you think you are saying, but in a business the customers can demand whatever they want and leave if they are not happy. That does not make them selfish.

That’s business.




> You’re asserting users are selfish.

You have twice now fabricated an argument that I am not making. I'm not fazed by this, but I think you should be aware that this is a thing you're doing.

I've multiple times said that neither party has any obligation to the other. The people who do assert obligations for others after the fact for self-perpetuated labor are selfish.


> but it's an extreme form of selfishness to demand that someone else sacrifice earnings to provide perpetual unfettered platform access to things that were put on the platform of posters' own accord without coercion.


I urge you to read it again with the newfound knowledge that, now three times without any attempt at course adjustment, you've so far been misconstruing it. Sidebar on preventing this kind of situation in the future: asking questions clears confusion faster than repeating the same mistaken statements again after learning that they're mistaken.


At this point I can only assume you are gaslighting. You keep accusing me of claiming a falsehood, even when I quote your very own words, and you make no attempt to actually explain your own words.

I don’t take kindly to gaslighting. This conversation is finished.


Four times. I can't (won't?) help a person who doesn't ask clarifying questions about things they don't understand and instead just digs their heels into the ground dying on the fallow hill of "I never misunderstand anything, so you must have meant this thing you did not say, and here let me blandly quote this thing I did not understand without asking any clarifying questions about it to address my misunderstanding".
