Good. Now, extending this logic, if I have ZERO WATCH HISTORY of shorts videos on my account, then... STOP CLOGGING MY SUBSCRIPTION FEED WITH SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

ACAB

All Chromes Are Bastards

On purpose.

Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.

Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).

When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.

Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:

"Twitter? What's a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork's logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms... and everyone wants to be his best friend... and it's against the law to divorce him... and he's cool... and..."

What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you'll never outrun that.

Try not to link if you can, just screenshot or copy text. Don't need to drive any traffic to that pit of despair.

Look around and realize how you got here to Lemmy/kbin/beehaw/etc - you were betrayed by a few VC-captured executives that made profit-blinded, consumer-hostile decisions about an important product you used frequently. They ruined it.

Anyone here defending digital media or saying it's not that bad or they should have done a digital lending system, you're not remembering the recent past.

The only acceptable ground to give here is NONE. Physical media needs to start mandatory, or your purchases are never owned and you're always at risk and at the whims of someone like Spez.

Also, remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism's status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.

If Reddit falls, it will be on purpose (by the people running/funding Reddit. Same as the 180 of Twitter as a somewhat legitimate forum - Twitter being a key organizing tool during the Arab Spring (with the Saudis being the largest investor in Twitter behind elon of course).

Billionaires do each other favors to keep the class war in balance.

This was a very illuminating view from another post

A solicitation for tip BEFORE any service is rendered is essentially blackmail.

"Hey, not for nothing, but sometimes pancakes can fall on the floor before they get into your to-go bag... I'm just saying... Anyways, here's this tip screen, no pressure [holds eye contact]"

What an embarrassing day for this twice impeached, insurrectionist traitor and convicted rapist with two active indictments and more on the horizon.

Not for nothing, but a key feature of fascism is that you're "enemy" is both weak and strong at the same time.

So the blackout is not a big deal AND the mods coordinating the blackout are too powerful...

ACAB - All CEOs Are Bastards

These definitely sound like the actions of a company that is in no way threatened at all not even a little bit.
