  • That's beyond stupid.

    If you don't want bots scraping your content, then don't put it up on the public internet.

  • It's a bit more complicated than that.

    I think there's a for-profit part of the business and a non-profit part.

  • Liveleak.

  • Oh, that's unfortunate.

    I really wish they would've chosen lemmy instead of making their own website.

  • All? No.

    Most? Yes.

  • Take solace in the fact that some people you'll never know are richer because of your suffering.

  • What about the ones who don't support this?

  • I think it's both sad and telling how concerned people are about getting their twitter fix.

  • I've reached the conclusion that the only way to protect children from these influences is to remove the influences altogether.

    My children will be raised with minimal dependence on the internet, and minimal dependence on consumerism.

    Glad I'm not the only parent out there thinking these things.

  • Same 👊

  • I seriously can't wait for youtube to die. I've already started uploading videos to peertube instead.

    These abusive relationships need to end.

  • are remotely proud to have worked on this.

    Usually the people working on this are too afraid of their financial standing to care about what they're actually working on.

    I don't want to say they "need" the money, because odds are they can do with less. They are likely on the consumer bandwagon without even realizing it and want to make as much money as possible so they can spend as much money as possible.

    The means are irrelevant.

  • Smart TVs are honestly one of the dumbest inventions.

    All they did was take power away from people so corporations could sell it back to them.

  • No, let's not encourage this even as a joke.

    All cutting Russia off from the rest of the internet will do is making them more radicalized and give even less opportunities for good ideas and good people to fight back.

    That's why China does it. That's why Iran did it.

  • Nah. The internet should not be segmented like this.

  • I disagree. You're the exception, not the rule.

  • I thought it degraded from lack of power flowing through it.

  • Problem with streaming is you're effectively renting.

    If the source of the stream wants to change their terms, there's nothing you can do aside from jump ship to the next business maximizing profit.

    Unless you're smart enough to use free streaming services, that is ;)

  • Yeah, I would download a car.

    You'd have to be a special kind of stupid not to download a car and instead pay the thousands of dollars + dealing with scumbag dealerships.

    Or just your average American.
