So don't use it? Don't download add-ons from people you don't trust?
People you don't trust?
Are you stuffting me? I will use the gmod rappelling addon as an example, the creator uploads the addon>
everyone likes it> starfishs start talking stuff to him > he decides to pull all his addons without say > I start up gmod to see that an addon and many others from the same creator are missing > *I get pissed*
And then when someone tries to recreate it the asshat comes back, files a false DMCA complaint > the addon gets taken down.
I would be down for workshop support, but the issue that creators can delete their stuff from the workshop and have it get removed from the computer is just a pain in the ass.
If workshop would let you download the addon instead of the stuffty subscribe system, then it would be perfect.
