Eh you’re right of course. Like I said below. Search engines have become useless anyway…

I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content

Yeah the article stub doesn’t link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don’t have a session.

It’s incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.

Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don’t need to go far… Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world…

Thanks for your informative and less snarky answer. I learned something new today!

Wuuuuuuuut! That’s crazy. I’ve been using it wrong my whole life.

Everything is a lie!

Pedantry: it putter not potter.

Completely agree. I think it’s a consequence of the late stage capitalist world. We’re way too burned out to have the energy to go on adventures or the money to make it easy to do.

Language is magic. Some electrical impulses cause a bunch of electrochemical reactions in a complicated pile of meat to make air vibrate, and at a distance another complicated pile of meat turns the waves into a similar series of electrical impulses.
