I haven't really been to fond of Curse ever since they dropped the "-gaming.com" from their domain name. I don't like their new layout, forums, or any part of the site, to be honest. I also am not too fond of their updater. It has crashed a lot for me, and it doesn't recognize all of my addons. Also, I can understand a premium version, but they really crippled the updater even further when they took out one-click updating.
But, with all this said, Curse was still, along with Wowinterface, getting the raw deal here. I respect Curse just as much as I do Wowinterface.
I find it amusing how Wowmatrix points the blame, and even more amusing how their supporters follow them so blindly and are so incredibly ignorant.
tl; dr
lol, wowmatrix... you so funny. wowi/curse ftw.

Who said anything about Curse not making money? Sure, make money to pay for hosting the site through ads, not through users. Let the users contribute directly to the authors as it should be.
I am calling out their greed because of their recent thirst (as I see it) for money. Why should I stop myself just because they were a better company in the past?
If I saved a life 2 years ago does that absolve me from taking a life today?
I am only making comments based on the way Curse is portraying themselves right this moment, not the way they have in the past.
Furthermore, why is someone who chooses a side always considered a blind follower and or ignorant?
Forgive us for supporting something that personally made our lives a little easier and spared a moment of our lives so that I could spend it doing something other than playing World of Warcraft/Updating mods.
There is no clear answer to who is right an wrong here. One side says the other is at fault, the other points the finger right back. We don't really have proof either way as to who is to blame.
All I know is I would enjoy another mass updater, free or otherwise, if it would simply auto update and pull from all sites so no background work has to be done.
Either that or as I said above, at least develop universal addon information.
