  • Forgetting everything that’s happened so far, and taking that statement at face value… That is exactly how things should have always worked…

    Make *****, get eXpOsUrE. How in the hell did the internet turn into we pay for access; we use it to socialize, share art, ideas, answers, make connections. And now they are not only making money selling our data, but we’re expected to pay for their crap content they scraped from our own data?











  • I 1000% agree with you. I had flown Southwest for years, found a better deal with Spirit from Denver to Vegas over a decade ago, it was about about $90 less. Decided to give it a shot. After paying for seat selection, checked and carryon bags, iced water, and then being subjected to a live 30 min branded credit card presentation from the flight attendants, I wouldn’t fly with them if they paid me.

    Edit: Forgot to mention after all their other charges, I ended up spending $175 more than I would have with Southwest.


  • I’m usually one who doesn’t buy into conspiracy theories; however, at this point I believe the Reddit protests actually (I hate this meme) broke the internet.

    Reddit was the “idiot cousin that causes minimum annoyance occasionally, that hasn’t really hurt the advertising line much” for so long, that they all became dependent on the free, moderated, and literal fact checked by people it effects data for so long. That now, after the last weeks, of all the deleting, rewriting, restoring, rewriting, restoring, and rewriting again that all their cached data, and reddits “current” data is now worthless.

    The super funny thing is, all the AI’s are still pulling data from reddit, they are going to have to cull and sanitize all data and every connection to it, and can also never trust it again… Because many many many people actually care about being part of a community, and will continue to modify/poison their previous comments to keep corps and their mindless “AI” from their “OWNED CONTENT.”
