How is it meaningfully different? Both exist to ensure that each person consuming the media has paid for it. Sure, in practice pay-walled articles can be easily copied to non-drmed formats, but no one does this and the motivation is the sam

I'm confused... Are you arguing that zoning, red-tape, and generally anti-development politicians and voters aren't the fundamental problem here? How exactly do you envision a government housing program to side-step all of the abo

This is must be a parody, right? No, they chose to have a site funded by ads. If you don't want to be advertised to, get off Reddit.

Do you find yourself making better use of your time, or do you substitute one time waster with another? I can definitely see how this would help me be more productive during my work hours though...

Yeah, this "critique" seems incredibly bad faith to me. The actual problem in this hypothetical situation exists with or without the chat bot. Should we expect chat bots to act as police?

My point is that many people who make predictions on this topic come to conclusions by fixating on largely irrelevant details. Are people on Twitter because it's a "mirco-blogging service" or because they find funny memes, fo

I have no numbers on this, but I reckon that the vast majority of twitter users who rarely tweet, don't engage in the outrage du jour, and aren't on Twitter to promote themselves have experienced little to no change since Elon has
