About healthy reflection and honesty

I am writing this short note because I can not write. The general director of free-lance.ru stated recently that the aim of the ban on the transfer of contacts is, no more, no less, the creation of “another (not the same as it was before October 2) Free-market market in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet. All this sounded ambiguous, but it was not completely clear - it was just a desire to make money, or people really want to make Russian freelancing more adult, or something. Happily ignorance of those who are happy to be deceived!

Think now about the meaning of the last changes. For paid users of the site (rather heavily paid, by the way) they again returned the opportunity to exchange contacts. But excuse me, just recently you said that the inability to transfer contacts is an absolute good! That is, it is an opportunity to become more solid and confident in each other. And what happens? What strongly paid "brothers in reason" get the opportunity to become undignified and insecure? What is this unconditional good, for the absence of which you have to pay?

Or maybe the restriction on contacts is not such a blessing? Is something different? And if it turns out that it is something completely different, then you should at least not call IT a blessing (“we will raise the market”, etc.). No, I'm far from cliches like “monopolization” and “monetization of traffic for slaughter”. It's just ... how to say it ... I want those who are fighting for the high level of Russian freelancing at least in words, at least in words they keep this level themselves.

Thanks for attention.

UPD. Judging by the comments, some believe that the questions asked here are not rhetorical. It's not about them. And in creating an environment in which it would be indecent to declare one thing and do another. To make it indecent, you need to not only think about it, but also talk out loud.
