The message sounds like a human warning of someone is being fed-up with feeling taken advantage of. They see the profit being made, and they're not even getting drops of it.

If this isn't addressed, it makes this repo a target for actors that don't care about the welfare of Amazon, Google etc.

It seems quite predictable that someone will see this as a human weakness and try to exploit it, my question is whether we'll get them the support they need before the consequence hits, or whether we'll claim this was a surprise after the fact.
