| Jul 20 at 21:15 | comment | added | NoDataDumpNoContribution | @GeorgeStocker "It’s about time folks stop believing the company has the community’s interests at heart." Most people here stopped believing the company some time ago. Looking around everyone is saying the same more or less. It's just the the company is not impressed much by it. It's only impressed by a 1000 downvotes or a moderator strike or stuff on a similar magnitude, if at all. | |

I, too, would request that a magnet link remain. Having to manually download the dumps, and then create a .torrent out of them, and coordinate sharing of that magnet link just adds unnecessary tediousness.

| Jul 13 at 3:58 | comment | added | Shog9 | Yeah, I kinda suspect that's not too far off, @AMtwo - that this is a "for show" type of thing, to ease investor concerns and ... Maybe even discourage clueless customers from seeking alternatives. But... There are alternatives, and they tend to be a lot better (if not cheaper) than the data dumps, which are primarily of value to small fry (like... Me) to learn and experiment with. SO's best long-term hope is to provide something of real value for folks who can pay, something that can't be replicated by distributed scrapers who won't care or even notice any of this. | |

| Jul 12 at 19:24 | comment | added | AMtwo | "no one involved in making this decision has ever downloaded and worked with the full data dump" ... As usual, you are painfully correct. | |
