They need money to recover the money they spent on “engagement” “experts”?

You get predatory tactics in part because you accept them as normal.

Do they? Do they really think I'm going to come back each day to see what the new reveal is, and on the 17th day I'm going to decide "Oh, hey, maybe I should send them some money"?

No. No, I'm not. I'm gone and I'm not coming back. Ain't nobody got time for games like this.
