GPT meant, "Get Paid To" in the incentive advertising world. Maybe your product was using this acronym? These robo-takedown outfits are a form of spam in my view. If you are publishing large sites or include user generated content

They've used similar ID politics smears and guilt by association in their attacks on their libertarian opponents. Personally I'm not a fan of Reason mag or that brand of inflammatory rhetoric.

I agree with the poster in that I wouldn't want to live in a cult like society or a socialist commune. The question is: "Why can socialists not develop a more desirable communal order under purely voluntary conditions?" Natur
