I gifted someone VIP and I won’t do it again

Just posting to rant. Saw another person have a similar experience, and thought I had to share.

I gifted someone VIP the other day, as I just got paid at work, and they have consistently been placing and doing well during the 6 rounds I had seen them playing. They didn’t ask, but I thought I would be nice.

I waited until the VIP icon popped up by their name, and sent them a whisper saying “enjoy :)”

No response. No one owes anyone a thank you, but it would have been nice.

Then, for the next 3 rounds, when I went on the runway, the player was saying “ew, 0 stars” in the chat.

For one round, I can understand, and I’m not saying anyone has to vote me 5 stars because I gifted you. In fact, that’s against the rules. But you’d think someone would keep their rude comments about someone who GIFTED THEM VIP to themselves.

I ended up leaving the server and going elsewhere.
