Yeah the artist that create a small community in a platform with reliable income after a huge pain in the ass work need to redo most of that work in another platform because some rich stupid moron billionaire touch on that platform and transform it into shit. Definitely screw those guys, move on or be judged!
They are the minority but it is still a fucked situation created by a douche.
It's not that I don't sympathize, but that IS what happened. The platform is no longer something you can use without carrying that weight. You just can't. Yes, it sucks for them, but people's workflows and ability to do their jobs get disrupted all the time. Factories shut down. Industries get replaced.
Yes, the work is hard, and yes it isn't their fault that this happened. But life isn't fair. The fact is staying with this platform is delivering income to a man who who is running his own judicial review of the laws of democratic countries, just threatened to rape Taylor Swift on an international platform, and thinks the world should be run by incels. Absolutely NO amount of "But I'd have to find a new audience..." changes that. I understand it isn't easy, but sometimes doing the right thing is hard. That doesn't mean you get a pass to not do it. If making the right decisions were easy and involved no personal sacrifice, everyone would do it all the time.
I see your point of view, now I know you understand the struggle for them to move on and how fucked up is the situation.
Oh, I do. It isn't easy. But all it takes for evil to win is for good to do nothing.
