 * >Yes, it sucks that your wiki suddenly looks less great for a while, but it's salvageable and you need to politely tell the helpful devs what's wrong instead of insulting them.

The problem is the devs don't really care what users have to say. If they did, they wouldn't make this update involuntary. How is it fair for users to be in charge of fixing something that should have been fixed when it was released? I'm getting serious VidMe vibes.


 * Research and development are already part of your business plan or at least they should be, and I'm not going to do that for free. Second, the relationship between creators and platforms is inherently hostile. There's a huge incentive in the Internet age to approach everything as just pals "We're all on the same side, we're in this together, get involved, help the site grow!" The main problem there is that it's not actually true. We're not on the same side.
