Here's the thing... I want to be sold something. Not anything, but certain somethings. There was a brief time when Google AdSense was new that I was excited for the experience. (I now know how fucking stupid I was, but hey, I was young).

The idea that a new product aligned to my interests and designed with me in mind would be advertised to me instead of feminine hygiene products or mesothelioma lawsuit ads seemed awesome.

I do not want your bullshit hype machine alpha male inside club cool kid image peddled as the reason I should hand you my money. You've got the wrong guy. Tell me what it does with a side of what I can do with it. And the "what I can do with it" shouldn't be "get laid".

Goddamnit. Sitting here ready to subscribe to crow facts and you got me with a freakin pinion joke.

Well done.

Anyone who bought one of these ridiculous monstrosities and didn't expect ads is an idiot.

So, then, according to corpo logic, you've setup a system that automatically repeatedly breaks the law (copyright , maybe? Ianal).

And if the liability is on you for hosting a federation service with no control over the content and you are accountable for the replicated content, then it is effectively the end of federation. Again, not a lawyer but given how much the law favors corps over individual rights in the US it seems like it would track.

In your analogy I think Google sells chainsaws, lumber, wood stoves, and paper pulp.

This is my last hope for America as we know it: MAGAts destroy themselves once their Christ figure is gone. It could devolve as you describe, but it might also be just the lull to prompt recovery.

This. I'm watching it in real time. I want to grab these fuckers by the shirt and shake them until they get it.

Instead, they'll get promoted and leave the mess to be cleaned up by someone else.

What level of bullshit lax security are these folks using that makes this statement is necessary?!

Incentives are aligned to go fast and break stuff, and what gets broken is your privacy and security.

I'd watch the shit out of this, right through to the after credits where Gordon with a bad ass eye patch steps out of the shadows and invites Super Grover to join his elite team of superheroes code named "HOoD".

Red text had me expecting a different outcome.
