Why is this news? It is their platform. You have your handle at their discretion. Getting paid for it? Hahahaha. Riiiight. This isn't some domain that is actually owned. You own literally nothing on social media platforms. Whoever theorized he'd be paid is moronic and a perfect example of a twit.
Doesn't it come across as unethical and wrong like an abuse of power to you?
This is a blazingly hot take but you are entirely correct, and people need to hear it. People will scream "FUCK SPEZ" while logging in to 400 different reddit tabs daily and continuing to feed a corrupt (and soon to be) corporate entity.
I'd be more upset if this was something actually important like a government website or something people's lives depend on, but yeah, it's not. It's just entertainment. Folks need to move on.
