This is so sad. It’s a story as old as time, a pretty woman fleecing someone for their money, but it’s gotten so much easier, and less traceable - meaning scammers get away with it and continue to do it over and over.

It didn’t say why. Are they just sick of running it? Is it hemorrhaging money? It’s practically a household name!

Literally. Walmart, a block party, a club, TOO MANY SCHOOLS TO COUNT, a concert, etc, etc. It never seems to end, and yet we do nothing.

As a teacher, this kind of stuff scares me. Luckily my district had not been affected by this sort of thing yet.

I’m not touting it, it’s a decent way to make sure that an account is reputable and behaving in a way conducive to the principles of the communities it’s participating in - “upvotes” means people like the things they are posting and saying which means they are good users. It’s just a little …familiar.

considering they'll probably also receive considerable hate for even contemplating the decision.

Honestly, when Christian first brought up “maybe subscriptions for Apollo to offset API costs,” I was fine with that. I get that we were receiving a service for free that cost the company money, and I was fine with paying a reasonable amount for that. I just don’t get why they had to make the costs so unreasonable that even subscription based wouldn’t cut it.

Yes, I came in here to say “shocking no one”. He’s literally said lewd things about her on national tv/radio!!

I found one of my fave communities on kbin, and it wasn’t active. So I am posting and checking for new posts every day to help it grow. I understand how you feel, but if you want it to happen you should try to be the change.
