I’ve said once and I’ll say it again. Either the information on your site is free to all or to none. You can’t have some people/entities pay and some not!
Without these agreements, we don’t have any say or knowledge of how our data is displayed and what it’s used for, which has put us in a position now of blocking folks who haven’t been willing to come to terms with how we’d like our data to be used or not used
It’s the users’ data, not yours, you rent seeking fuck
It would be interesting if any large companies got behind promoting and endorsing federated media to get around this sort of situation.
I suspect paying money is easier. And they probally assume their need to do so will be temporary. AGI will fix everything, right? Feel it. Feel the AGI.
I just started hearing about some Facebook at some point, and then some (it’s Russia) Odnoklassniki and Vkontakte and a few other spaces.
These seemed to be the sites which lamers use to feel themselves relevant with that Internet thing. Leprosoria of the Web. Places where I wouldn’t go, even if I would sometimes go to porn sites, especially when depressed.
Normal people would use LiveJournal and move from ICQ to XMPP and Skype. Skype voice calls (back then they were better with countryside radio link than now with GPON) were a miracle, so me and everybody around me moved to Skype.
Then there was a moment when the Web suddenly died and everyone was on those social networks.
I actually blame LJ and Skype. Technically these worked fine, but they were a gateway drug.
LJ made it easy to have something like a personal webpage, only it wasn’t personal, it was in LJ. ICQ lost popularity when it fought alternative clients, there were no alternative clients for Skype at all and everybody got used to service providers dictating how people should use their service, imposing their client software.
It’s still terrifying how that ICQ run was the last such run in modern Internet’s history. A company fucked around and found out. Nothing like that has happened since. That’s my canary.
You don’t want random because that’s easy to detect. You want to fuck up the ML so you need to be more subtle like scrambling a few words or replacing certain nouns or logical connections in ways that are hard to differentiate from regular edits.
If this gains any traction, I hope every news site, blog, etc sues Reddit for profiting off their material that fills the entire site. The comment section wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t something to comment on in the first place. Digg and Reddit didn’t even have comments at first. It was ALL content from other sources. Even “reddit original content” is" original content from a creator posted to Reddit". Reddits “value” is ephemeral.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.

And Lost_My_Mind says to reddit…oh, it’s just a middle finger.
Reddit CEO can shove reddit up his ass sideways. The whole thing.
Reddit only exists because of an open net and sharing content, noe they just suddenly determined that an open net is bad.
A common strategy, but it fucking sucks.
Fuck you reddit.

What’s “reddit”?

I remember. Now it’s mostly walled gardens everywhere. Capitalism fucked us again.

Remember when you had RSS with HUNDREDS of different websites and had your own personal little newspaper every day 🥲

I deleted my account but that was before I learnt you could replace all your posts with random sentences.

lol. That’s not how any of this works.
If you have content freely and publicly accessible, it will be read freely by humans and bots.
the exodus must have worked if they’re having to do this to shore up income.
Reddit says “blablabla” . Reddit is just trying to stop its communistic website from losing money.
Reddit says “we will give you access” once you pay us and feather our pockets.
Fuck spez, what a cunt. Delete all your comments etc, and let the AI rot in retarded posts.
Fuck Spez
I tried to get us all to start using “King Steven the Turd”, but that never caught on.
It’s insulting to turds.
Yah, I’ll take a good shit over Spez any day.
Bunker boy
I don’t think the content on Reddit is their to sell…unless resistors are getting a cut. That site is a dumpster and needs to die already.
