It’s possible that the enforcement of a rate limit isn’t because of AI scraping, but rather because they failed to migrate before the June 30th deadline.

Can’t wait to find out he spent/lost $2B so he wouldn’t have to pay Google $1B

I mean it’s all speculation at this point. The guy isn’t honest and wouldn’t admit he brought down the whole site due to his hubris.

What’s up with billionaires and not paying their bills?

with higher interest rates, it means they can’t get cheap loans, these companies will go under if the rates keep rising

I think it’s more that people who tend to be billionaires tend to also be kinda scummy people.

You dont make that kind of money being honest and empathetic. The most honest ppl I know that run businesses are barely paying themselves. There’s a reason CEOs have higher than normal representation of psychopaths. It allows them to make the best decisions even if it means running the orphan killing machine 24/7.

Found Elons Lemmy account

Haven’t there been multiple reports of Musk refusing to pay a bunch of shit? Rent, that guy that was disabled and Musk explicitly fired him for it and then had to pay him millions per his contract, oracle for services.

Yes, he’s refused to pay rent on Twitter HQ. Also got kicked out of their (empty) office in Boulder for not paying the rent.

It’s probably the Tesla engineers he brought in who are doing that so it should go great. If you can build the best, self driving car in the world, building a little social network is easy peasy.

It’s so fucking funny how Twitter and Reddit are imploding on the exact same day lmao.

Is reddit actually imploding or is it just business as usual?

Depends on where you go.

Subs like r/worldnews and r/tech have bottom of the barrel comments, but still manage to get some posts.

r/IAmA had many of the mods leave, so the remaining ones are stopping all “out of Reddit” activities, like recruiting celebrities, verifying identities, and so on. It’s pretty much worthless now.

Small niche subs are still working, but the equivalent communities on Lemmy are getting better quality right now.

A few subs like r/news, r/leagueoflegends and r/worldnews crossed the picket line without so much as acknowledging the blackout.

Not to sound paranoid, but it’s kind of worrying.

In recent years, these sites have been used to pass information quickly during crisis. This can be anything like natural disaster, or uprising and protests.

These big aggregators being incompetently, mismanaged and taken down from public use at the same time, makes me wonder if it’s an attempt to quash communication that’s not coming from a government or mega-corp.

The revolution will not be televised… by the people.

I, and many others, truly believe it is deliberate and orchestrated, primeraly to shut down the likes of r/superstonk and other subs that are fighting wall street corruption.

This is not “Another theory”. This is a great discription of what wall street are doing. It has the added bonus of keeping even you, someone with there eyes open, distracted and not seeing how the Banks, hedge funds and “market makers” are running the show.

They have built a system to take all the money from the people and provide nothing in return.

They control majority shares in all the major news outlets and control the narrative.

If one person’s looks at this and checks our DRSGME.COM it will be worth it. (or read the endless DD in r/superstonk but as I’m here I don’t really wanna encourage anyone to go to reddit, fuck spez)

Buy DRS & Book GME then HODL (repeat where possible 😁, see you on the moon)

I’m not going to claim I know what’s happening, but I like the self-DDoSing explanation because it’s even funnier

Lol yeah I saw that one I find it hilarious too.

I thought google charges as-you-go.

For the average user maybe, but for a client as big as Twitter they’re probably going to want to take a more hands-on/careful approach, so whatever’s in the contract would probably supersede their standard terms.
