  • Normification is a facet of our undemocratic capitalism. As you see yourself as a consumer of the internet and not a citizen, you mostly assume that a thing being

    1. popular
    2. monetizable
    3. and convenient

    is always preferable.

    So the internet continues to have a huge potential to host many cool places, but

    1. they can't reach users that might be interested
    2. gaining support from small donations is difficult
    3. and they can't integrate a complete set of features, accessibility, design and content moderation.

    If you ask an average internet user about these places, it's a common response to say they're weird as in not normal. If you dig a bit for what they mean, it's usually the above. Nobody is there, it can't make money and it doesn't have all the things.

  • Response from dropbox in that post: "Jumping in to clarify some confusion. The AI third-party toggle is only visible to users who have access to our AI features. If you don’t see the AI third-party toggle, then you can’t view or use Dropbox AI features. To reiterate, neither this nor any other setting automatically or passively sends any Dropbox customer data to a third-party AI service. Please see our Help Center article for a list of those with access to Dropbox AI features."
