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.
Ain’t nothin’ less conservative than a Conservative

Man if they manage to one day buy-out Wikipedia and even Britannica. You just know that’s exactly what they’ll do. They’ll whitewash all articles that shed light on their atrocities, demonize groups and individuals they don’t like, scrub away certain historical entries and vice versa.
You just know they would do that.
the internet was awesome for like … twenty years. thirty if you count the era where people mostly communicated through newsgroups and such. it feels like the enshittification was so sudden…
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.

- Maybe 2009~2009. Mobile devices lowering the bar for entry has been apocalyptic.
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.
Okay…okay. You were making sense until you were tossing around the label salad a bit much. Someone needs to go outside and get some fresh air I think.
Looking back now there were some signs but boy that escalated quickly
To me, the Internet died a little before 2012. Some may say 2009, others say 2007. But I say it started to die since 2012, it’s just been a steady process and now we’ve been seeing the rapidness catch up within the past 9 years.
It’s not a guess anymore as to how many corps, companies and zealot individuals want to take control of the internet for their own gain.
2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.
The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012. Really, it was the end of the expected simulation that we’re all living in. Now that we’re past that year, stacks are overflowing and the simulation is encountering unexpected results outside the boundaries of the programmers’ intents. That’s why everything is fucked.
About 50% /s
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”
I doubt furries would approve of record label lawsuits.
as a furry, you’re right but - why?
I called it, sadly. They weren’t going to stop at the e-books. It’ll be music now, then I imagine they’re going to go after as many video clips and then they’ll be after all of the games hosted there that gaming companies today don’t give a shit about preserving unless it’s going to make them a buck again.
This timeline absolutely fucking sucks each and every passing minute.

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 hope they got a plan to move to a different country
Are major record labels furries?
I’ve seen a lot of furry hatred, but comparing them to record labels might be the worst.
I wasn’t comparing them to that. Making a joke about the 621 in the lawsuit amount. It’s a furry-associated number.
i read the whole article and still have no idea what this has to do with furries.
621 is more or less the site they go to for seeing the illustrations of dog dicks that they’re so fond of.
It’s just a joke about the 621.
