@lori good! when i get creepy emails from readers it really changes my day and takes a portion of my attention, and i really really hate it @aetataureate I think it helped that I already basically had this image of him and so it just became showing it to my friends and going "get a load of this guy" @lori it also is just like, every single white tech guy who thinks he reinvented the wheel ends up being the same as everyone, including with no ability to delegate, no sense of proportionality, and in huge need of someone to say some of his ideas are fucking terrible @aetataureate apparently they didn't forsee so many users unsubscribing when they raised prices because "we asked in our discord!" but the only people sitting in a search engines discord are the hardcore fans that keep telling Vlad "I'd pay like $100 a month for this!" |
@aetataureate I don't find it too scary unless he starts talking legal action (since he seems to like throwing money away), more sad and like secondhand embarrassment. But it's definitely bad behavior from him.
