A tiered appreciation program that rewards you handsomely for logging in daily and writing garbage content for reviews led a lot of people to abuse the system. It obviously isn't going to be a sustainable business model regardless of how low his overhead might be. He probably looked at the number of nuggets out there growing and growing for months and months stressing out about it. I'm sure whatever heat he's taking is worth it for his peace of mind.
If you're upset with anyone it should be the diamond members taking advantage of the situation. Sniping auctions, for seeds they know will probably sit in a fridge or freezer for the better part of a decade or never be grown, at just the cost of shipping. The guys that could've paid full price and still used nuggets they got by abusing the program are why he had to make the change. If you're one of those guys I have no ill will against you, don't give two fucks about nuggets tbh.
I know I'd take pulling back the nuggets system on the chin to ensure my seedbank had a chance to stay open in a heartbeat.
