If media companies want a consistent user base, media companies can politically lobby for their users to receive wages high enough to include disposable income. If media companies won’t go to bat for their subscribers, why should their subscribers give them anything more than short shrift? (there’s your phrase for the day)

I LOVE that sketch

yeah I’m not thrilled with the methodology “just buy a domain, lie on Wikipedia, and LLMs will buy your bullshit.” I certainly don’t doubt it, either.

Because all of the things that people said they would never do, they already have done, and continue to do.

I guess “think of the children” only applies when it erodes consumer privacy

The redactions are not intended to protect the victims. Every redaction protects him.

I mean it’s already 1/4 demolished as it is

Holy shit, that’s actually a real quote from the article(!) That’s just shameful writing.

If you’re going to spend money at all then you’ll just have to give some of it (or all of it) to a totally overpowered construct of evil. If you don’t then they might start to lose power, and boy howdy they just can not have that happen. Oh, and make sure you continue to distrust your fellow man because if you all start working together you might decide that things should change.

SELL SELL SELL ! ! !

cost savings

Goodness no :) Money is only for people who already have too much of it. The rest of us have to Squid Game / Long Walk / Running Man for our next meal.
