These infants really know how to hold a grudge lol
I had about 700 subscribers back in the day. People loved my work. I spent years writing essays and publishing them to SU. No doubt eclipsed and replaced by now but I’d love to sue them for access to my work but I couldn’t get a lawyer to so much as write a letter for me unless I forked over 5000$.
That’s when I learned to always be aware that your content might vanish instantly form any social media archive: https://plus.google.com/+BrandonSergent/posts And that legal protection is a myth in the United States unless you’re wealthy.
What good is the law being on your side, as rare as that already is, if the only way to get it applied is to handsomely pay lawyers?
SU stole my content and because I’m poor I can never get it back. I know I’ll never see justice in this. That will always make me sad.
The meanness of it. The pettiness. And the fact that this behavior is handsomely rewarded while honor on the other hand is forced into a life of constant struggle to the point that much of the population has become convinced that struggle itself is intrinsically honorable, which isn’t actually true.
I’m also frustrated by the fact that because there are so many other greater injustices and there presumably always will be, petty injustices like this one will always be ignored by virtue of there always being something more important to address first.
/smh

What the?! Why were you banned? Got stumbleupon because you used it. Guessing should move to reddit too now.
Well just to be clear their TOS allows them to ban anyone for any reason or no reason. There is no due process and stumblers have no rights ultimately. SU is closed source private property. This is a common and shitty situation for content creators to be in, and yet even the aware among them, such as myself, fall to temptation.
http://underlore.com/TBA/?p=755 contains the “reason” It is vague and unsubstantiated. All accusations and no proof. Exactly what you would expect from a unilateral deeply personal action.
Basically as I stated elsewhere, I openly expressed a negative opinion of stumble staff and policy directly and openly. This is not allowed.
I’ve went to your stumble site and there is no place for me to review you. There is only a button to unfriend/unfollow you. So they can kiss my behind. As long as your up there, I’m gonna leave you as friended.
I wish I could liberate my content from them, but its probably deleted by now. Think I should email barry@stumbleupon and alert him to the fact that I’m talking to a lawyer?
