You're right. One of them is professionally produced content, advertised with a preview to whet your appetite, where you're expected to pay for the right to consume it fully. While the other is.... uhh.... the same thing.

Seems like you should take that up with Google? Why should The Economist be obligated to serve no content to a crawler just because they want to charge readers a fair price for their content?

You seem to have the misinformed belief that Google and search engines generally somehow make up the fundamental fabric of the web? Google is just a company that has a pretty good catalogue of what they've been able to piece together o

Someone better tell every movie studio on Earth that's it's disingenuous to make movie trailers.

I'm not following your logic here. The Economist wants to charge readers because they produce high quality content that's worth paying for (in their estimation). This seems entirely orthogonal to whether they blacklist a web crawl

A significant proportion of the userbase would be a good start. If 118,000 users unsubscribed up from 40,000 then that's an increase of 78,000 people, or 0.04% of the subscriber base. Also, now this is total speculation, I'd hazar

The idea that Spotify is "platforming" Rogan is laughable. They paid him millions of dollars to come to their platform. Spotify is not bringing an audience to Rogan, Rogan is bringing an audience to Spotify.

That seems like a very small increase to a page that presumably sees little traffic. Sounds like they're committing the base rate fallacy[0] where large percentage increases correspond to small absolute numbers. [0] https://

What really pisses me off about this whole paradigm is that nowadays I'll go to what seems to be a quiet sit down restaurant and it will take me 45 minutes to get a meal because the kitchens, for some reason, prioritise their zero- or

I just took a look at Peloton apparel and I don't see how you could class it as "loud and obnoxious". Most of it looks like pretty generic branded fitness gear. If anything it's especially understated compared to the com
