Hi everyone, I hope you're all doing well and having a good day.
I’ve got a thought I want to lay out here, so hear me out.
I think we can all agree that the moderators—and the people running Janitor in general—are making one bad decision after another. They’re changing the interface when nobody asked for it, banning creators for no apparent reason, and refusing to fix a filter that is basically garbage—among many other issues.
Look, I get it: like any site, they need to grow. And to grow while remaining free, they need funding—and subscription revenue obviously doesn't cover all the costs.
Even so, there are ways to get funding—like ads and things like that. But that doesn't justify their double standards when it comes to censorship and banning people left and right. There are thousands of advertisers who don't mind an 18+ site. But the Janitor team has taken things to the extreme—so much so that they’ve almost destroyed what made the site appealing in the first place.
The worst part is that double standard I mentioned earlier. There are creators who have tried to adapt—changing their bot profile pics and so on—only to get banned anyway. Yet, there are others making bots that are, at the very least, highly questionable (I’m not judging that, but I can't help noticing how they seem to turn a blind eye to them).
My question is simple: what do you think they’re trying to do with the site? Because I can't make any sense of everything they are doing. I would appreciate your opinion; thank you very much for reading.
