OP don't listen to the jelly haters. If you were making $100k/mo each of these hypocrites would get knocked off their high horses and copy you. Well done, congratulations!
Thank you so much!

What service is this SaaS actually selling? What are people paying money for?

Nevermind it doesn't matter anymore. Just pick the side you'd like to fight on.
Jk, the service helps people to post relevant content to their groups in the Russian market and charges them on a per post basis. Some of its content is of unknown origin and haven't been attributed to that unknown someone properly. People think that it's plagiarism and rightly so. That's why we have all this mess here.

#54So you steal content and publish it as your own. You might as well torrent movies, music and books, and sell them on your website. Way more profitable.
It is profitable. Go ahead and do it, not all countries have same laws about copyright.
All the big companies break laws and are unethical.. Youtube and copyright, Uber and 'disruption' . Some small guy does shady things it's unethical and worth pointing it out so many times in this thread?

I'm equally lost. I can't tell what exactly the service is offering for sale or the point of it. Usually when I see these low sales service posts (small side projects), I expect to see something clever or unique, that's the only reason to pay attention to something yielding a small amount of sales. If you're going to tell me all you did was scrape and clone with a routine LAMP setup, I don't get the point of the post.

> "Other things you must hate: morality and ethics." I'm less impressed with your own ethics than those of the OP. The OP made a tool that served a market niche in a country that isn't so wealthy and then shared the story here to help other makers.

The tool OP made is neither technically challenging or interesting. The story is about what the tool was for, which is certainly not one small piece.
These types of stories are great and motivational, but not when it promotes people who are looking for inspiration to turn to stealing content and selling access to it.
Just because this kind of stuff is common in other countries or cultures doesn't change my opinion about it being wrong.

Well, your opinion won't change this kind of stuff in other countries either. Your actions will, though.

Exactly, which is why I think it's important to point out when something is wrong rather than try to promote it as an example for others to follow.
Sure, feel free to continue. Just don't come here looking for praise.
edit: *praise from everyone. It seems some people are impressed. Congrats.
