I have dropped ‘public landbot project’ from my groups.
Here’s why…
Each day throughout the project, I would be interrupted from any kind of work or productive activity on the numerous projects I have been working on by about 10 people who would, in a group, claim that I was scamming the public landbot project, telling me I can’t program, getting me basically unnecessarily angry for about an hour.
I could try to explain to these people that I am a busy person, that would take time.
I could try to argue with them when they just want to waste my time, that would take time.
I could tell them to fuck off, which is what I typically have had to do, in which case people then label me immature and evil or whatever
And after an ordeal of 10 people giving me shit, it takes me about an hour to get back to a normal frame of reference (software development does require a degree of concentration)… Then let’s add that up over the course of the project… And hell, let’s say that I was a $10 / hour employee at shoe factory…
Now, if you are better at math than Yohan Pintens, you’ll quickly be able to determine that the amount of money stolen from this project by these loudmouths, their accusations, and gossip, exceeds anything that I was compensated on the project.
And FWIW, I am not a $10 / hour employee at a shoe factory. My rate from now on is $1000 USD per hour IF I AM WORKING FOR ANYONE THAT SUCKS.

I was right when i asked about if it had been cancelled weeks ago because the main bot runners where grouping together to offer you guys a pay settlement but i guess they went down the road of windups instead i knew they would stop you guys because as soon as you started releasing search code they hit with the abuse of Fword anyway this blog has been great but like i siad they have the cash to pay others to stop things and i know they offer cheap lands in return of favours thats why people seem to kiss their arse lol. Anyway Fword seems like a great person that just got caught up with all the crap they mannage to throw at her cant blame a person for wanting out.
