MODERATORS
All I remember is that they used to automatically inject ads and spyware to downloadable files. No idea if they still do that, most likely yes
It was amazing for years and then they ran out of money. When it completely crashed and went full ad insanity and crashed again, someone else took over with the intent of making it great again. That may be a poor choice of words or it may not.
I also remember when it got taken over by new management with the promise of improving things. That was a couple of years ago IIRC, and it's still a septic tank of advertisements and download countdowns.
