It pained me to do this but every single public download of mine that I put up before (except V6 downloads) is now password protected. Why? Because I am sick and tired of this leecher behavior which I mentioned before. I don't think my downloads are helping the fandoms at all (other than the V6 fandom, because the fans are simply amazing and supportive) so it's basically just fueling people's instant gratifications. 201 downloads on one file and 2 thanks? Where did the 199 go? I don't worry about thanks so much, but I feel like the point of uploading (to bring the fandoms closer and also to provide a sample and incentive for people to buy the goods) is just not there anymore. What's the point in sharing if you don't even know who the receiving ends are. I'm assuming that none of these 199 people ever bought anything from the fandom now, because they give me the bad impression that they're all a bunch of freeloaders.
All I wanted was some interaction.
All my share posts will be f-list only from now onwards (don't bother adding me for my downloads, I'll be able to tell).
For those who want the passwords, you can comment for it.
