The good thing about it is you don’t need to read past the first few words. Which saves us all a lot of time and effort in the long-run. A weird sort of way, it’s honest (albeit impulsive) discourse. Most people nowadays seem to hide what they really mean behind double-speak.
The bad thing is reading the rest of their comments makes me actually worried. We’ve all been in a bad place in our heads and some of us know just how f***ed up it can get.
So if know why, then why ask why in the first place?
It’s always interesting to see that MAGA shitheads hate-read this forum.
That’s not the point. The point is content scraping (and crawling) is the cornerstone of the contemporary information environment. It’s how we got to this technological paradigm in the first place.
This whole “people are bypassing paywalls” is a badly evidenced non-issue, and all too convenient. What these companies are really saying is “Content scraping is bad when others do it. Only I and other big fish get to do it and profit billions out of it. Fuck ordinary citizens. Fuck everyone and everything but me and my dreams of endless wealth and power.”
To be fair.
Content scraping is harming the information business in ways that could not have been foreseen.
What an absolute ridiculous thing to say.

Buddy, you’re the one parroting authoritarian propaganda on a daily basis and so you’re the one carrying the socio-economic and cognitive consequences of that choice for the rest of your life. Nothing I say will disturb you as much as you already disturb yourself. So might as well enjoy yourintellectuall demise (I know I am) and entertain the rest of us while you’re at it.
Now dance!
Stop consuming propaganda and start developing a capacity for critical thinking and you’ll see things differently, Mr. CoLOuR ReVoLUtiOnS
Ah yes, the good old socialism paradox.
Not accoridng to them. They rightfully consider themselves Euroasian, and a growing number of Europeans see them that way too.
We don’t know and we won’t find out.
