You are just one person with one set of habits. Google serves hundreds of millions of people daily, and the benefits publishers traditionally received from Google are in aggregate.
- zoky 2y agoOkay… so? Why should I use or not use something on the basis of how you think other people might use it?
- shortformblog 2y agoBecause publishers are telling you that it harms their business and you, as an individual who looks at the bigger picture, want to do the right thing. Or you can just go for personal convenience. You do you.
- zoky 2y agoPublishers also told me that Napster was destroying their business. And before that, VCRs. Public libraries too, for that matter. Do you always believe what publishers tell you?
- shortformblog 2y agoI’m a publisher. I am telling you this, personally.
