I never claimed that my life was worth living. I contemplate ending it every day. I'm sorry if you thought I attacked anyone, that was never my intention.

Well, you can't blame these companies for cutting ties with their employees to make a profit. This is bound to happen in the era of technology. That's why we should encourage the younger generation to get lucrative degrees in fields that won't replace them.

Being raised in a virtual environment taught me that repetition is safe. Most people get a sense of comfort from browsing their favorite sites on a daily basis, which is completely normal. As long as it's not destroying your social life you're fine. You can always walk away or find another hobby such as reading physical books.

My experience has been sub par to say the least. It's great if you can communicate your idea properly though. I figure that if you want the job done right, you'll have to do it yourself.
I was referring to anyone who works 20 hour days... That's just not a life worth living at that point. All they do is work and sleep. Also, not sure why you got defensive and brought up my profession. We're both agreeing on the same thing here.

I've confronted these types of people many times in the past. They're usually quite childish. If anything, they probably thought it was humorous. Things like this happen all the time with content creators and it won't stop anytime soon. Many people contact authorities beforehand to whitelist their address but I'm unsure if it's effective.

I've also heard about pets that get murdered for having vicious tendencies in the victims household. How sad...

It's possible but it's not a life worth living.
