@Shamar While I really like the article, I am disappointed that it has been published on medium. From my experience it does not look like a privacy aware website

Shamar @Shamar

@_xhr_ you are perfectly right.

To be honest the article was a angry reaction to the .

I had literaly five minutes to write it down and medium was the fastest path.

But I was too upset with the total lack of on 's side, to do nothing.

I hope the article will be shared enough to make and similar feel the income loss from such practices.

btw. I don't think there's really much point hashtagging "user" and "manipulation" separately. From what I've seen, all ways of keeping track of a hashtag involve showing all posts containing _one_ specified hashtag. You can't filter for "# user" AND "# manipulation".
So I'd rather use "# usermanipulation" or just "# manipulation".

No.
