      It’s been going to shit since like, 2015? I think that’s about when ad blockers became a necessity to just read any website on the internet. Maybe a few years before that.

      It’s not an internet thing, or even a technology thing. This is an example of the general debasement of society wrought through half a century of rampant sociopathic neoliberal shitfuckery.

      One place I’d like to see this start to be corrected, is treating what is currently understood to be intellectual property as the intrinsically abundant resource it is, instead of the artificially scarce, zero-sum concept it’s currently encrusted as.

    Glad they have all this excess to use against the people that gave it to them.

    Glad the people that gave it to them gave it to them instead of helping out those who actually need it.

    Great world.

    I guess the big question that lies under this whole debate is “can someone own our culture and rent it back to us”, and “do works of art have meaning and value beyond monetary value”

    Right-wingers as usual wanting to eradicate the past so that they can claim dumb shit like “there were no concentration camps”. And yet they call themselves “conservatives”. What a joke.

      I’ve seen a lot of furry hatred, but comparing them to record labels might be the worst.
