it is unfortunate that some people believe those pros outweigh the punishment inflicted on innocent users

it is better a thousand criminals/ spammers go free than a single innocent non-spammer be treated as if they are one

essentially the companies are shifting their own pain (with spammers) onto innocent users ("it's your problem now, suck it users, lol!!!")

Sounds like you never had to actually deal with such a spammer problem yourself

"its easier to just punish everybody than single out the person actually deserving of punishment" is actually a common defense of collective punishment

the equal and opposite response would be, "Sounds like you never had to actually deal with such a usability problem yourself", but I'm not interested in trying to devolve this discussion into one about you and me, instead of the topic
