In the wake of recent fee changes and subscriber models, #POEai users on Reddit are evidently plotting a boycott. #POE subreddit has been seething with user anger of late, recently tipping a boiling point. Of course Quora’s #ArtificialIntelligence platform needs to make $$, but rolling it out with much fanfare and spinning the changes as opportunities and user benefits when they are clearly $$ grabs, was horrific #PR and reflects not only poor planning but hubris and entitlement.
