That's beside the point: the idea of hedging your bets has its place. You already sink 8 hours every day into one company, it makes sense to invest parts or all your compensation into other things instead of dumping it all into the sam

Complete unusability is when ai tools clone the content and people stop visiting the original service and participating. I'll leave it up to them to defend blocking duck duck go for example, but blocking "AI" bots for an onli

It'll be interesting to come back here in a couple of years and see what's left. What do they even do anymore? They have Facebook, which hasn't visibly changed in a decade. They have Instagram, which feels a bit sleeker but a
