This is a third-party news aggregator. It's very common that the submitter is not the author. So the author is usually not even in the vicinity to hear the complaining. All in all, just another manifestation of slacktivism.

- Zyst 7y agoHey Zach! Been using Just Read for years, just wanted to give you a quick shout-out to say I love the plugin.
- ZachSaucier 7y agoI'm so glad!
