I just downloaded a book off Scribd last night, and it didn't ask me to upload anything. I've never uploaded a document and this isn't the first time I've downloaded one.

Just to make sure I'm not crazy, I found another 100+ page book and downloaded the PDF just now. No requirement to upload any files.

Doesn't anyone fact check stories before posting their comment rage?

Perhaps you didn't meet the criteria to trigger this behavior, you are not a member of the A/B group that was shown this UI, etc.

The story is sourced, and veracity is riding on the source's reputation (and vis versa):
