Your first mistake. Whiners whining about whining whiners.
Some of them are starting to go on r/Save3rdPartyApps to tell people who are upset to "get off our high horse" lol
It's just sad that people are trying to defend corporate greed man...
for free

Imagine learning that people are eating free food at Burger King and complaining that they're not serving McDonald's at regular price.
I'm sorry, what? I need details on this.

It's a very poor analogy.
I suppose it works better like so:
Imagine..
You're in line at McDonald's talking to a buddy about how Burger King has better quality, is free, and that you'll not be returning to McDonald's in July because their burgers are going to cost $0.24 per microgram, and the owner is a clown.
Someone unaffiliated with McDonald's who is also standing in hears your comment and starts shouting for you to "GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!"
.. not because they don't like Burger King.
.. not because they have never tried Burger King.
But because they closely identify with McDonald's, and the clown that represents it.
Hope that's clear. Heh
@dismalnow Ah, okay. Yeah, that makes more sense. I legit thought folks were getting free Burger King somewhere. xD
I got banned from there because years ago for disagreeing with someone that a post was "being upvoted because girl" and politely pointed out to him that it wasnt really, and that he was a baby.
I can understand the wanting to vent about a sub declining, because reddit certainly has lots of declined subreddits, but a lot of it was the usual "THIS IS TOO POLITICAL!" "THIS ATTENTIONWHORE GOT UPVOTED BYE BYE" and etc.
