Back then we all knew: vague rhetorical questions aren't arguments.
Technically, it's not a big surprise at all that someone would restate "you are the product" like it's a revelation. There is nothing novel at all.
And non-technically, yeah, as you said... You tried to weather a paragraph of empty meaning. You know that this comment says absolutely nothing actionable. You've known since word one. Nobody can actually be stupid enough to not instantly see that. It's impossible to not understand it.
Your strategy so far was to just scold. Who of you has expected a productive outcome, given this "mediocre" contribution, to say it veeeeeery friendly?
But beyond that unhappy story, your comment actually made me smile. Linguistically, let's say. And there is no sarcasm at all. It was funny to read!!
I didn’t make an account on LinkedIn before, and I never will in the future either.
Hopefully, continuing to point out shady practices from sites will help more people stay away from them too as time goes on.
So, no, there is no chance. Whenever you think "this might now finally help to make enough people understand", they'll quickly prove the opposite.
no no no no no no no, These sites go on the blacklist.
What nobody started discussing so far: Every user actively pushed these shady sites. They are/were all active parts of the problem. And usually they somehow knew it. They'll come with lame excuses, as if the issue ever was a technical one, and too difficult to get, but in fact, no, things cannot be more obvious. To everyone who ever got in touch with other human beings. It never was a tech problem.
I'm excited when this discussion will start. But we are far away from it yet.
