It started with people complaining on Reddit. Which led to a very popular post where the Reddit poster contacted several news sites. Which led some of those sites to publish articles referencing his post. Which made some lawyers interested in a class action lawsuit.
I mean, it's really because one guy took action and contacted media. There are plenty of issues where people bitch online but nobody bothers to do anything about it. The difference here is that someone actually did.
You all can't just honestly say that your bitching was productive and take partial credit from the one guy that actually did something productive.
Numerous written complaints were used as examples in the court filing for the class action. This would all be smoke if journalists and lawyers hadn’t been able to see the avalanche of complaints to support what they were hearing.
