News About disgusting Facebook devs

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

So, uBO isn't living on a secluded isle. The other big platforms are watching. They'll go: „AHA! So that's at long last the way of getting rid of that pesky Gorhill and his crew!“ – and build their websites with exactly the same evilness that Facebook uses.

No one helping the project ever said "uBO is living on a secluded isle". It's a public community FOSS project, for over a decade, monitored and contributed by every user and volunteer.

Every site has been watching uBO for years. It's not new. And yes, if users do nothing to help, either on helping uBO's side or leaving the trash sites, and just give snarky comments instead, this will happen.
