Maybe because those decisions affect my livelihood, I\u2019ve always firmly supported what companies choose to do. From a profit-driven perspective, there\u2019s nothing inherently wrong with making money. The mistake lies in how abruptly it was done, with little regard for existing users\u2019 feelings.
