In a recent chat with Youtuber Daniel Wise, Hunter Moore stated that he had no regrets over what happened and in fact, he was proud of what he created. He said, “First of all, I mean this probably sounds horrible, but I’m proud of what I created, I’m proud of the community I created. Now hell do I wish I had gone about it in a different way? 100%, and you know I’m obviously more than sorry and definitely would love to apologise to people that were affected negatively by the website. But besides that, I did do my time, I feel like I did pay my dues, and it wasn’t all negative, and I had a great time and I would definitely do it over and over again, but I would do it in a different way and I would definitely take back any of the trauma that anybody suffered from the website or anything negative that happened through the site because back then I didn't understand it.”
