Do note that I have a friend who used DAZ Studio that did attempt to make their comments on the rapid downhill slide towards mining the userbase for additional profit streams (advertising), and they got their comments deleted for effectively being critical of DAZ staff and management... and couldn't even comment on that they had comments deleted for it without getting those deleted for "questioning moderator decisions". Or, as they put it to me, they were expected to be so milquetoast in their comments because of the way the TOS was being applied on the forum, that there was no way to provide good constructive criticism about the direction of the company they had been giving money to.

No support for products bought with real money that don't work right... and no complaining about it.

Oh I can prove it happens.
I was toe to toe with one of their mods(in email), for ages! Showing him explicate examples of people saying WAY worse things than I ever did and their posts being allowed to stand.(the favouritism that exists is shocking and blatant)
They would back and forth over the reasons why those comments were ok, but stating "some companies will nail you for it (IP infringement) and some wont" was removed, and I was put on being moderated before I could post.
I even have the email still, stating it was not directly in the ToS...but the moderator felt it was needed to be removed.
(So basically stating, even if it is not against the ToS they can just…delete your post if they dont like you or it)

I was a happy wee camper at Daz...till that crap started. Till I bought a package for eyes and noted a rather glaring issue. That made it near unusable.
I went to tech. Found out…it was originally brought up 2018.

Did they do anything? Nope. Did they remove the package? Nope.

Have they responded to support? NOPE.

Then there was the issue of the VDB file and I had several screenshots of progress showing it was, literally, the ONLY item in the scene as an issue.
Completely ignored. Still an open ticket. Still an item I can't use.
Then I made the comment in regard to IP infringement, and that was the straw on the camels back.
(To be perfectly honest. I did have one post deleted, but that did deserve to be.)
But one post that was removed, it was noted I “inferred” that the DAZ staff didn't do something right.
(This was testing the roll out of a discount that everyone was complaining about. I said that every site I know of, tests the roll-out first to catch glitches before making it "live"so they dont get an entire customer base ticked off.)
Apparently I “inferred” daz wasn't doing their job.
(Please someone tell me when the Daz employees became gods or people that should -never- be questioned?)

What exactly are they so scared of?
WHY NOT JUST ADDRESS THE VALID CONCERNS OF YOUR CLIENT BASE?
