70 is aggressive? In California ppl will be passing you on both sides at that speed.

The SAG protests were pretty transparently about protecting old money. Actors with hundreds to thousands of hours of footage already out there that can be easily turned into AI models.

NYT are such lawsuit trolls I could imagine this is credible.

Nothing but good comes from a program likes this. Honestly wtf.

I used to spend hours a day on Reddit, if you add up all the little time waster breaks I take just scrolling on Baconreader.

Now i rarely visit the site.

Many companies already do this, but advertising it is unpalatable. Just be like Google and Facebook. For awhile the Facebook app was so bad about it that it caused significant battery drain and the only way to avoid it was to remove the app.

Reddit who?

If I can’t browse my way, I simply don’t use the site.

If reddit pops up in a search result on my browser, wellll best believe I have multiple adblockers making sure their ads don’t load.

I remember the collective shitfit around a decade ago when Obama give out free cell phones to homeless people. It was such a crazy concept to people who have never struggled that yes, you DO need a smartphone to meet your calling, banking and personal management needs. Everything has an online portal. Every job application requires an online portion. It’s how the world works and has worked since the mid 00s.

Don’t have to be old to recognize evil

The RIAA and MPAA are the driving force behind the copystrike behavior. I do think Alphabet has the resources and standing to resist and battle it in court, but that’s clearly not their business model. Alphabet is not invested in protecting content generators, only in what metrics they can sell to ad agencies.

Changing it will bring down the entire system.

We’ve spent ten million dollars and do not know why.
