MODERATORS
This is pure cope from the talentless cretins who ran jezebel (into the ground, all by themselves).
They had not produced any meaningful journalism for several years. But sure, their downfall was caused by the secret conspiratorial algorithm that took ad money away.
So Cory Doctorow - y’know, the guy who created the term “enshittification,” is also just “coping,” eh?
There’s a bigger issue here than just a site you don’t think has value shutting down.
Yes. Half that post is whining about conservatives and the other half is just repeating the content from the 404media article, without adding any additional value.
When your business model revolves around ad money, you toe the line or die. It has always been this way.
Jezebel died because it had no readers, not because its content was so upsetting to The Man that they were demonetized. We're just hearing the pearl-clutching righteous indignation of people too proud to accept that they lost because they suck.
Holy shit I don't even know where to start with the massive list of strawman arguments put forth in this article.
It decries "woke capitalism". Lol
Wtf is woke capitalism?
The first amendment statement is just simply.... wrong.
The idea that the problem with social media is really that people aren't allowed to just say anything without limitations is outright wacky.
Yes let's just end terms of service...says this guy apparently.
These people are dangerously clueless.
