The money printing and tech investing bonanza has allowed many programmers to flex their programming expertise without considering real-world resource costs. Now those bills come knocking and everyone acts like the previous utopian paradigm was somehow sustainable. I'm calling bullshit.
If the fediverse ever had this kind of scraping pressure, it would collapse in minutes.
- medler 3y agoIt’s naive to say that this is the inevitable result of wider forces. If Elon had never offered to buy Twitter, or had managed to weasel out of it, you can bet the API would still be a thing and the login wall would be much as it was a year ago.
