even if it was more, don't be embarrassed—you were just emotionally triggered, then later came to see it, and wanted to correct it. that's just... human, and it's rather that the algorithm isn't in tune with human behavior. BTW, ancient instincts are very healthy ;)
not being a saint? hmm, I have no idea what you're talking about, at all ;)) I did suspect that those people would try to strike back at you, but not that they would be successful. so yeah, maybe it was a combination of factors.
the way I see, it's rather that large centralized platforms can create weird incentives... plus assholes and scammers hurt everyone, so the damage is dispersed. on the other hand, a "good human" is a danger only to the asshole minority, who are quite good at self-preservation and teaming up against threats...
