So, I'm throwing in with
the-saddest-borg, and ceasing to be active on this service.
A lot of "Web 2.0" is, more or less, a confidence trick, whereby users are encouraged to provide content for no compensation, mistakenly believing that they can expect some minimal moral rights as creators, or at least some form of equitable treatment. This is, of course, not true; most "Web 2.0" sites treat their users arbitrarily and contemptuously.
Some of you will know which specific incident brought this home for me recently; those of you who don't, I won't tell, because - it's been rumoured - another classic "Web 2.0" trick is to ban users who criticize the conduct of those who wield the ban-stick. I'd like to at least keep my previous reviews from this account visible.
It's been real.
Oh, one more thing: At least this way I never have to use the abominable new layout.
