You are thinking too short term here

I just put out a post that was a couple months in the making.

I’ve until recently maintained a 5 month old index manually in a frequent manner.

I go back and edit older posts to link to relevant content or make small changes to make it more relevant.

I am thinking longer term then most realize.

Besides, half the things you mentioned happen even if you don't change the rules.

Half these things occurring would not have been the issue. I was fine paying a 15% to use a platform that gave me the tools I wanted. I expect the other thing to take some kind of cut to cover what they are doing one day. At some point there is that breaking point and I won’t be shocked when they come in with a knife to cut the pie up some more.
