A lot of this article seems to be complaining about not being involved in literally everything. Imo I'm not surprised the team moved on without him
I can't speak for the money situation, aside from that being extremely shady if it's true, but then again if the team moved and continued using the money for the arranged purpose then I'm not too sure if that stands.
Comparing the projects after the change of direction, the new website looks a lot more trustworthy than the old one. The old one is worded a bit like a brochure... the 50% off is nice but rubbing me the wrong way for the homepage of a privacy website. The memes and posters aren't for me either personally.
Looking at this from a balanced perspective is difficult for me, the structure of the article gives me the sense that there was a big misunderstanding or communication breakdown somewhere.
I'd invite everyone to look at the community responses for all the material quoted in the article (YT comments, reddit etc) and come to your own conclusions. I'll be staying on lemmy.one for now, but you could decide to hop to another instance!
