Back around March of '24, Turbo had decided we had to pay to upload images. This, of course, caused a massive outrage among all of us. At this point, Rob, who had been an admin of Gab, started schizo posting about how he had data crawlers going over everyone's accounts and there was no use is deleting and he was gonna do stuff to us. This was when the "freeloader" shit arose. I don't kindly to threats like this so I nuked my account.

I was personally mad about how he went about it. It's true that shit costs a lot of money at scale but his "no fuck you" rather than at least humoring the community by listening was where he went wrong. People seem to forget that nothing is free even if it's given to you for free, and Torba seemed to forget that his customers are what keep his business alive.
