White knights are people who are loyal to a product and defend it to near-death despite its flaws; they're a type of "loyal customer."
Re-read that sentence again where I use the word white knight:
"If they won't innovate, then they'll need a way to extract even more money out of the current loyal customers (white knights included) to offset the loss."
It's used in a non-callout context. Were it truly a callout on your person or a specific group--which it is not--a moderation warning or note on the post would be observed. Nevertheless, the fact that simply mentioning "white knight" can trigger an unironic response is, in my opinion, quite hilarious and degrades the person's credibility responding.
More heavily trafficked websites are better for getting a complaint heard; that I'll concede. Instead of complaining, however, I'll be working on projects useful for a community rather than wasting time finding and reposting old information on different websites and complaining into a soundbox.
