You can't even quote your own or anyone else's writing on the web because your script will be blocked like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20190407221130/https://write.as/contentisblocked https://web.archive.org/web/20190406040929/https://write.as/contentisblocked If you pay for the service, blocking does not apply to you, but when you cancel your order, the bot will lock your writings. + + + Tämä on liian hyvää ollakseen totta. Et voi edes siteerata omaasi tai kenenkään muunkaan kirjoitusta netissä, sillä kirjoituksesi blokataan näin: https://web.archive.org/web/20190407221130/https://write.as/contentisblocked https://web.archive.org/web/20190406040929/https://write.as/contentisblocked Mikäli maksat palvelusta, blokkaaminen ei koskea sinua, mutta irtisanoessasi tilauksesi botti lukitsee kirjoituksesi.
