There was somebody fussing in my replies to my last link to my blog post about Medium (I don’t see them now; they probably blocked me, but their specific words don’t really matter), and the gist of their message was that they didn’t like that site. On the modern internet, if you have an issue with content written by humans, with no surveillance ads, that doesn’t allow AI scraping or AI slop content, with a business model that makes money… I don’t know how to help you. Honestly.
At a certain point you’re asking everyone to take a vow of poverty, unsustainability, or irrelevance. By all means, hold people to an ethical standard, and then beyond that, get over your aesthetics.
@anildash all software must physically hurt to use. That's how you know it's good and just.
@fromjason @anildash If software doesn’t prompt you for a monthly subscription, is it really software?
