    They're acting really weird lately with the secret investor and partnerships and Putt looking up and banning people that downvoated him.

    Yeah something is up. Look how badly their $5k/mo Azure licensing fees screwed them over. Now they're bought and owned, it seems.

    Meanwhile we're chillin' at an average of $60/mo or so, because the site is designed so efficiently with open-source software. Saidit is a thing of beauty!

    When the big money comes knocking a lot of 'principled' people lose their principles. Keep that in mind.

    Yup, almost everyone has their price. Some can resist though. It's all about circumstance, and we're trying to create circumstances that lead us down a good path rather than a bad one.

    The people most likely to resist have these things in common: family, community, no significant debt, loving spouse, no major vices/addictions, offspring, religious convictions and religious community. Surprise, surprise these are the very things that the oligarchs systematically attempt to break, corrupt, subvert, demonize and erode.

    I haven't heard anything about this until now, so this is a guess.
    I'd wager that they're trying to significantly reduce the shilling nonsense, and have decided that this is the best way to cull the sick, from the herd.

    I would wish them good fortune.

    That sucks to hear. With the recent crashes, I wonder if it will end up going bankrupt?
