'unjected' platform for unvaxed community gets taken down by their own web developer, allegedly. they claim they gave him the keys to the site, he didn't do his job, they tried to get rid of him and probably strip the ownership stock percentage they offered him, he takes the site down.
my question is how retarded are the owners or the site to even allow this to be possible. the site had been hacked within the last couple years, profiles mocked on mass media, probably a fed honeypot like everything else.
are the owners malicious, or just retards who didn't have any web development skills and even lacked relationships with web developers they actually knew personally and trusted enough to hire, and instead hire someone who doesn't even live in their own country?
In January 2022, in light of rapid development needs, Unjected hired Oystein Kirknes, owner of Xenzia AS out of Norway to upgrade and maintain the Unjected site.
In exchange for his service, he was given stake in the company. After over a year of dropping the ball on key issues and failing to deliver on his promises, he was fired from Unjected.
Unfortunately, he has refused to step away with dignity and has, instead, chosen to lock the rightful owners out and has captured the payment processing service, effectively eliminating the means of revenue for the company.

lol, what a ridiculous fantasy you've made. You must be a narcissist of some kind to need this ego trip. If a web service requires a team of people (or even one person) to run which many do then it functions as a small business. If you create something as a stand alone one off product you can sell it (which you did) for a one time fee and now whoever owns it is in charge of maintaining it.
You could not create a lasting popular online service as a once off thing over a few weekends. If you could you would, and you'd be rich. But in reality they are businesses that require a lot of input and consistent energy over time, like any business. They scale better, but they still require massive inputs. You're not some special snowflake who just knows how to "do things better" than all the people more successful than you.
So, it could not be because you think it could not be. OK.
What exactly do you mean by "rich"? I have enough income and real assets for all my needs, why should I exert to make some irrevelant profit from something that is too simple to make money from that?
Just imagine, that I want to start yet another business on selling my web site solutions. I immidiately will met with a pressure of giant corporations who spent billions into lies about all things you think cosntitute modern web development. Why should I fight against that enormous machine in attempt to convince somebody that they don't need BigBrother overbloated solutions if they want to use that BigBrother solutions, because it is "modern", "fashionabe", "hyped"? And those who are really interested in my product and hate BigBrother solutions will perfectly find and use mine or just write their own using mine as example without any efforts from my side. So what could be the point of doing such business?
Successfull business you talking about is not about "do things better" at all. It is all about hype, marketing, vendor lock, SaaS, whatever. It is about making as much money as possible.
I prefer doing things better. Yes, that does not always bring as much money as possible. But making as much money as possible is not among my interests at all.
If I have a choice between making thing more complex with hiring people, spending more money with a potential more profit, or making thing as simple as possible so it will do the job forever without any additional attention in future, I'll prefer spend some time once for latter and forget about it, than to add all that business haemorrhoids for the sake of some potential profit.
Speaking about topic - you could see how overcomplicating things bring everything to the trash. There is a reason why KISS principle still exists and always win in the long run.
That's delusional. If your approach works do it, and everyone will copy you because you can make a profitable business for far less money. A good product speaks for itself right? So you don't need magical "brainwashing" marketing, lol.
Exactly. But why should I necessarily make money from that?
People copying my weekend solutions cost nothing for me. They don't bother me, and even if they make something useful or even profitable from that, why should I care? They don't bother me, I don't bother them. Why should I make it into business? I just don't see any reason. I have perfectly running real-world businesses with profits that covers all my needs, why should I need another one that will demand additional investments, attention and efforts from me?
Take a look at file exchange services, f.e. There was a lot of commercial ones that pop up and died, round and round. And suddenly, only non-profit torrents outlived them all, and will outlive any existing commercial ones.
Just deal with the fact, that there are a lot of things that should never be made into business if you whant them survive. Obviously, anti-BigPharma movement is one of them.
Delusional
