I believe you are correct. If I pay for something that suggests I am the customer and not the product.



Haha if you pay for SA it only suggests that you are a sucker who paid 10 bucks to post on SA for a couple of days before getting banned. They are very ban happy there.


I have had an SA account for years and never been banned. I don't appreciate being called a sucker and I think the price is fair for what I get.

When I use Facebook I am the product, not the customer. This means the platform is optimized to put my eyeballs on advertisements or provide data about me to marketers. It is not optimized to provide high quality conversation.


Good for you but it's hard to take you remotely seriously when you try to relate SA and high quality conversation.


Are you trying to be ironic on purpose?


SA is basically 4chan except you have to pay 10 bucks to join. I don't really see the joke here.


The "joke" is that you complain about the lack of high quality conversation on SA, and yet your posting style here is extremely shitty.

No wonder you got banned so quickly there...


What, am I supposed to list my reasons with citations (of course) to justify my opinion about some historical relic of a site? And I didn't get banned from SA; I just know a lot of people who did.


If you got banned after a couple of days that means you broke the rules in a big way.
