Interesting how everyone, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit seem to try to to squeeze more money out of their platforms by making themselves shittier.

And it’s infuriating how so many charities, organizations, municipal governments, teams, and groups continue to use ONLY social media to post updates.

I refuse to join Facebook to see what’s happening around town or to read updates from our local police department on Twitter.

Talk about failing accessibility! These platforms should be the last place to post information and updates. It’s time to go back to when the internet actually worked properly.

No, nitter seems to be dead

they do that because people are more aware of how to protect their privacy and the stance free because you are the product is no longer profitable. People taking care of their privacy in mass is a good sign for humanity :)

Where I live, everyone is just barely scraping by. 15 households all pooling our resources for one internet utility account shared amongst us.

People aren’t able to pay for any of the content the companies you mention want to charge for. It’s not even a choice. They’ll just go without or use alternatives.

Or maybe thats just a bonus side effect of these monetization plans: keeping the poor out.

Edit: actually there’s only 9 of us sharing the cost, with the whole block sharing the wifi…

Yeah I’m not saying that out loud.

New articles will still reference tweets, as people and communities are still engaging on there. You can view an embedded tweet in an article, but you can’t read any of the replies to the tweet nor view the tweet as a whole.
