Can I just say that the "relationship" theme of this article comes off as a tad ... creepy? Completely detracts from the substantive content.

>many years ago when we both were young. It was love at first sight – The elegant UI, the ease of use, the dirt-cheap price was everything I was looking for in a partner.

>There was no downtime, highly reliable as a partner and supported me with every problem I faced in life.

>I understood how to work with her and things to expect from her. Never before had she let me down. It was smooth sailing until recently when problems in our relationship started to surface. She expected more from me and wanted to change me.

Sorry if that sounded creepy. My intention was only to make my point. I tried to end it fairly and I guess it failed :(

I completely agree, this comes off as a highly sexist narrative where the expectation of a female partner is to be nothing but supportive and existing purely for the male counterpart.

Yes, it does. I avoided the trigger words because of how triggered the HN crowd can get.

And, it was banned. All I wanted is write a fictional story and vent my anger at Digitalocean.

I didn't flag it; I stated my criticism, you replied thoughtfully, life goes on, or should have anyway. Sorry that it happened.

The censors are humorless.
