Or like staying with an abusive spouse. I don’t get it—why stick with a company that behaves this way, just to take part in a service that is frankly optional and unnecessary to life?

We get these threads a lot here. “Company X charged me for something they didn’t deliver and ripped me off!” So report fraud through your credit card and charge it back. “Bbbbut then they’ll ban me!”




I am very extreme already about these sort of things, and twitter was my one main compromise besides Steam... it just makes me feel like what is going to happen is the masses will always be on services like this and only a handful of hackers will be on the alternatives, creating and further encouraging information bubbles.

Your frankness is appreciated though, there is some truth there.
