Every time I see a new episode of this saga, I remember this[0] thread from Yishan, predicting these troubles.

The problem with Yishan's analysis...

> Both sides think the platform is institutionally biased against them.

... is that it could still be true that the platform is institutionally biased in one direction. Both sides could think it, but one could be right and the other could be wrong.

Of course, if I try to stick up for one side then I'm playing into Yishan's hand. He's rigged the game so that if you try to argue back then he can just say you're proving his point: "no, you just think it's biased against you, but other side thinks that too! See what I mean?" But considering the revelations we've seen in the recent leaks, the "both sides" rhetoric now rings pretty damn hollow.
