IMO, this person likes to stir up attention with baseless accusations when her profit-seeking machinations don't work out. I remember there was some makezine drama related to her a couple years back too. Iirc she was whining about not being featured in makezine, and her 'project' was a very simple 'I sewed LEDs into a cooter-shower miniskirt', not really comparable to what usually gets featured in makezine. But of course, makezine ignoring her demand to give her free publicity and consequent potential increase in youtube/patreon earnings constituted sexism.

I'll wait for more details before rushing to conclusions on this one.

And where are your Show HN's to justify you being so high-and-mighty?

What is your point? I have a semi-popular machining youtube channel, but I am not looking for notoriety, victimhood or money.

My comment was based on the only thing I remembered this person from. Between youtube and patreon, she was pulling 4-5k dollars in monthly couple years ago. But it was not enough and she got greedy. Looks like combination of her greed and manipulativeness fired back now, because she tried to use sjw bullying methods on those who are much more experienced 8n using the same.

Again, this is just my opinion. I can have an opinion on comparative value of two things without being able to produce them.

You remember her from one thing (which you're possibly misremembering, given that there's been more between her and Make than "she's mad she didn't get featured") and that gives you enough knowledge to have a useful opinion on what happened in the mean time, and what her motivations are?

If you have an opinion on two comparable things, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY ENTITLED TO KEEP SAID OPINION TO YOURSELF AND NOT PARADE IT IN PUBLIC FORUMS. Else if you choose to make allegations using words like "his person likes to stir up attention with baseless accusations when her profit-seeking machinations" "she was whining" "cooter-shower miniskirt" "combination of her greed and manipulativeness" "sjw" then I am at liberty to think nothing more of you beside a hate-filled entitled scoundrel of the same type as the orange ersatz of a coprolith that currently occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and would deem any opinion that you may have or may have had as utterly worthless and repulsive as the semi-solid waste output that emerges from the rear end of the bovine species.
