Respect might not be the right word, but during their meteoric rise to popularity in the past decade they have consistently shouted “we don’t moderate content, we’re just a dumb pipe, don’t take this up with us take it up with the publisher!”
In the past 3 years or so they have repeatedly proven that to be a lie; they weren’t able to have their cake and eat it too. But their old reputation still sticks around amongst people who don’t follow the space that closely.
Respected by who?

Yeah, this is what I was referring to, not sure about the reputation but they are still popular, that's for sure.
Doubtful.
