Xpert, why not take your own advice: Move on or quit crying about it.
There is nothing wrong with change, or someone trying to promote change. If you don't like it, don't read and quit crying about it.
I personally don't care about the prize money in HC, but others may. If they want to advocate a for a change they certainly can - they'll either be successful, or not.
Either way, it doesn't sound like it has an effect on you, so quit crying about it.
