When you don't know who your customers are

Long story short woke driven sentiment got f2pool overlord to offer not to pay a sizeable fatfinger fee to the miners that make their business possible.
This is what you get when you do not know who your customers are while feeling compelled to play woke socialist accounting with not your PoW.
I can only hope miners pointing their cannons towards this pool learn their lesson.

I didn't see any woke shit, except for this post trying to say what they should or shouldn't do with their money.

It's not their money. The pool operator has stolen funds from the miners and might give them back. There is no collective and a vote is not ok either. The operator can suggest people make payments they think are morally warranted. Everyone on that pool should immediately switch and compel the statement to be renounced.
If you do not believe in contracts, you are welcome to live among the animals. Money is actually useless without contracts.

Love how everyone forgot how "not your keys not your coins" worked.

You are retarded. Is this your way of consenting to be robbed at gunpoint?
One day, Tony was working as a cashier at a cheese shop, and at the end of the day, he walked out of the store, not just with the cash, but having been tasked with locking up, brought a UHaul with him to empty the store.
The owner managed to shoot Tony as he was fleeing the scene, and his last words were "everyone forgot how not your keys, not your cheese works".
You literally cannot spend your bitcoin ever if you are this retarded. The oracle problem runs deeper than your cliches and real goods and services in the physical world cannot be atomically swapped for bitcoin, securely or otherwise even when you do not introduce a time shift. It is obvious you do not understand why bitcoin matters, and this is likely due to you being on the beneficiary side of capital misallocation.
You're a fucking consoooomer and clearly that's all you'll ever be.

Bitcoin might have its incentive structure but wokeness can still creep in because there's enough fiat to bend pools and miners who are just focusing on returns for investors, and while they might be able to get away with it sometimes, like leverage miners do in certain bull markets, it doesn't work all the time and you have to pay for your gambles
