From an apparently uninformed discord user, deets? Granted, I've been annoyed at their insistence on monetizing via unasked-for "perks" I've absolutely never even thought to be interested in. But I've never felt like I was treated ill, and I assume there's something I haven't heard of

Okay, let's go

  1. They know what you're talking about with your friends.
  2. They block your account until you provide your phone number if they see you're using VPN or Tor.
  3. They are disabling users' accounts and not providing reason.
  4. It's centralized.
  5. It's a spyware. They log everything you click (you can send a data request and see).
  6. They force you to use a closed-source client and you can't use an alternative client because they will probably disable your account.
  7. They changed the nickname system and made it pay to win.
