File Lockers are without a doubt a major piracy problem and the Google transparency reports confirm as much. In the past few months 1039 rights holders have made takedown requests for almost 1 million URLs on Filestube indexed by Google.
The scale of the problem with file lockers is huge and it's been largely unmitigated until this year. We don't profess to have a perfect solution but we are doing our best to mitigate it.
One really must question the motives of the naysayers.

Naysayers come with the territory when one takes up a leadership role- which is what they see you as having done.
That being said, you shouldn't respond to their reactions with hostility or in a dismissive manner.
If their issues are legitimate to them then they're legitimate issues.
Calling names (upload monkey) questioning their motives etc. is begging to have your operation come under the same scrutinity- presumptions, childishness and so on.
I mean, if you're leading a campaign which doesn't provide verifiable pecuniary advantages to your supporters, they're going to wonder what you're actually doing.
