srpguy··on Millions of Instagram influencers had their contact data scraped and exposed
Most of my friends who are good at skateboarding or surfing have 2-15k followers, regardless of whether or not they're sponsored.

srpguy··on Bullshit I had to go through while organizing a software conference
Did we read the same article? He turned her speaker position down because of her pattern of vengeful, childlike behavior. She acted completely in line with what her reputation would suggest and pursued a personal harassment campaign.

Maybe I'm missing something. Can you enumerate what he allowed people to do to her, and what she did to him? That way we can compare directly.
