ohhh sweetie... your responses to my adf*y post just really weren't the best look for you.
And unluckily for you, I don't give a shit about coming off as 'nice' or being perceived as a 'good' simblr, so I'm gonna call you out on your bullshit. If I have to be the asshole of the community, then so be it.
I was reading them actually wondering if you bothered to even give my post more than a skim over because if you had actually read it then some of the stuff you replied...
Lets start at the beginning:
Honestly I could just end the post after that because holy shit dude, I literally said in my post 'Don't piss where you eat' and here you are, telling all the people who support you what you really think of them.
This genuinely made me fucking angry to read, in my post I said that as creators we have larger platforms and more influence than the average simblr, which means we have a responsibility to AT LEAST be decent people to them.
But specifically as people who upload files to the internet for our followers to download, that requires them to place a lot of trust in us.
So you saying you don't care about their safety while their downloads are a source of income for you, is you spitting in their faces.
It SO incredibly disrespectful.
And then literally in the next breath you call them stupid. And then proceed to talk in way that solidifies what you think about them, that you really think they are stupid.
Hey @magic-bot, I'm about to blow your mind. This community actually has a lot of people who live with chronic illnesses.
This is why the 'It's not my fault if you click on an ad or something that gives you malware' argument is completely invalid.
Some examples of what I mean;
Someone could have chronic pain, they're having a flare up and cc shopping is an escape for them but perhaps they have some intense pain right as they're on your adf*y page and they accidently click something like I did.
Perhaps someone doesn't have the fine motor skills you have and accidently clicks an ad, it's not their fault at all but in your words it's because they're 'stupid'.
Or even just bad eyesight, my own mother would likely click on the wrong thing if she wasn't wearing her glasses.
There are so many chronic conditions that could affect this and out of my own ignorance on the exacts of these conditions, I wont give more examples but I'm sure most people reading this has already thought of a few of their own examples.
(Note: sorry if my wording in those examples doesn't correctly describe a condition, I was having difficulty conveying my point with my own lack of knowledge on chronic conditions)
Also your 'stone age' comment is incredibly disrespectful to the older members of our community. These pages are changing all the time to avoid being skipped and even I, at 26, have a difficult time figuring out 'so which skipper doesn't work now', or 'how many addons do I need to download now'.
So don't imply that just because there are older people here that they don't understand how to protect themselves.
Which in itself is ridiculous, people literally having to get multiple forms of protection just to get your content.
Adf*y pages can be confusing and overwhelming, not just for people used to downloading your content, but especially for new people. Like I said in my post, these people are putting their trust in you because they like you as a creator and you leading them to a link which could harm their computer if they don't do the correct thing is scummy.
There were more replies but I really can't fucked screenshotting them all but this reply really made me laugh. You saying that the downloader must be held accountable for their actions is straight up the most tone deaf thing you could have said.
Actually, wait! This was:
So take your own advice @magic-bot and take responsibility. Stop taking advantage of the community that you so clearly do not care about but continue to profit off of.
By the way, here's a link to my post so you can actually read it this time.
