To be fair, this is probably more of a subconscious psychological reaction than an argument / suggestion. When I first saw the notice, my first thought too was along the lines of "what? this isn't fair! i've hardly uploaded anything". Sure, this reaction did not make much sense, which was why I was able to reason with myself. Maybe it was the way in which the notice was phrased, or some other combination of factors.

EDIT: I think it's mainly because the news bit did not give any reasons to rationalize the change. It makes the reader think that he is partly at fault.
