    Creative people on the internet did this to themselves. They trusted platforms they didn’t own and operate themselves, and depended on proprietary algorithms instead of open standards like RSS. They deserve no sympathy or support; let them have day jobs.

      I have no idea what you’re on about. The fact that all of them did it means nobody did it out of specific stupidity, and that it was just very difficult to see it coming.

        Especially with the way these companies positioned themselves. Google and Apple were the anti-Microsoft. Google even had the motto don’t be evil. Facebook was started by one of us! A hacker nerd dropout who loved open source. Of course he’s on our side!

        I’m also not sure it’s the fault of “creative” people. If people only visit closed systems like FB / Insta / Tiktok etc. are creatives to jist not post there? (In an ideal world obviously not but …)
