I can only imagine that the recent drama surrounding all of the libraries and IA has resulted in a surge of hard drive purchasing and people doing their best to hoard as much data as possible.
the internet was awesome for like … twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden…
It’s been going to shit since like, 2015? I think that’s about when ad blockers became a necessity to just read any website on the internet. Maybe a few years before that.
Consequently, I believe the adpocalypse on Youtube, roughly around 2015, is when things started getting really bad. It was made public that basically anything on the internet that uses an algorithm to deliver content could be gamed so that the lowest effort content could be seen in the same places as the good content, which only incentivized people to start making low effort content en masse. The low effort content eventually needed its own repository because it was becoming the dominant form of media on the internet. Now we have Tik Tok, Youtube Shorts, and Facebook Squirts.
It’s not an internet thing, or even a technology thing. This is an example of the general debasement of society wrought through half a century of rampant sociopathic neoliberal shitfuckery.
One place I’d like to see this start to be corrected, is treating what is currently understood to be intellectual property as the intrinsically abundant resource it is, instead of the artificially scarce, zero-sum concept it’s currently encrusted as.
Looking back now there were some signs but boy that escalated quickly
Right-wingers as usual wanting to eradicate the past so that they can claim dumb shit like “there were no concentration camps”. And yet they call themselves “conservatives”. What a joke.
Ain’t nothin’ less conservative than a Conservative
Reversalism is the actual therm.
I guess the big question that lies under this whole debate is “can someone own our culture and rent it back to us”, and “do works of art have meaning and value beyond monetary value”
Glad they have all this excess to use against the people that gave it to them.
Glad the people that gave it to them gave it to them instead of helping out those who actually need it.
Great world.
I doubt furries would approve of record label lawsuits.
Are major record labels furries?
i read the whole article and still have no idea what this has to do with furries.
I’ve seen a lot of furry hatred, but comparing them to record labels might be the worst.
