They got 70m users in a few days. Mastodon has a few million after a year. I don't think Meta cares about us at all!
I'm not refusing to "get" anything, this is just a well-worn argument that's been tested. Yes, there will be people who scroll past but the net outcome is still more clicks into the website. Literally the same thing has happened in other countries. Spain tried to do the same thing and lobbied the government to enact a very similar law, Google news pulled out, and then the news organizations started seeing drops in their revenues and they had to persuade the government to reverse decisions. What do you think is going to happen here? In the end everything will go back to the way it was, except some lobbyists and lawyers will be richer and Canadians/Australians will be inconvenienced by having one less news aggregator to use for a period of time.
Huh? Showing news results on search is beneficial for the news sites, it pulls in viewers. Search engines have never paid someone for the privilege of linking to them lol.
All the mods should either reopen everything and stop all mod activities (ie quiet quit), or just go down the John Oliver route.
Wow, you actually fucked your boss!
I know the Chinese character for soup and I don't see it here
Haha that's cool. Why would you want to send a copy to their parents, to make sure it says what it's supposed to say?
Some companies succeed partially because of management, others succeed DESPITE their management...
If I were Bottom, I might not quit if my pay never decreased. I'd take the hit on my dignity to continue getting a Director salary for a worker's job...
Stupid corporate policies and power tripping managers... Where would we get such quality content without them??
Hah, this is what I liked the most about reddit - learning random bits of knowledge about things I knew nothing about. I'm glad to see this happen here too!
