there is one post per week from ChessMood, and all of them are advertisement "hidden" behind bad "chess" posts, half of which insults people on a really disgusting way. You are not "offering" you are selling. And if you throw a couple of free videos in it, then it's an advertising goodie. A free sample. A time limited "offer". it's still just a comercial tactic, and you are still expecting to get money flowing in your direction.
The writing of Avetik, has been sexist, classist, contradicting scientific facts, etc. And there were alyays the comercial links at the end... If you were "offering" you wouldn't be advertising. "offering" in hope of getting sth in return is not offering.
Note that I haven ́t seen any post from you and I didn't criticise you in any way. But I do criticise the PR of your Buisness, caus it's toxic. For instance, have you read the "battleship" blog post of Avetik before it got deleted? If you worry about the immage of ChessMood, it's not me (or other unappreciative people) the problem you should tackle, but Avetik.
I wish "some people" would actually understand what they are doing themselves...
I appreciate what you do.
Which is doing aggressive advertisement on a *really* free chess platform and trying to pass it for "entertainment" and "free".
Which is why I don't appreciate it.
Like, go, advertise, it's explicitely allowed on Lichess TOS. Like it's allowed for me to criticise when I find it toxic and/or crap. But don't hide its advertisment, and don't tell people it's just free stuff. that would be manipulation and lie, and that's not right.
Sorry but no. Nothing to be appreciative of. just your basic unoriginal capitalists trying to pass for philanthropists.
