They're framing it as "AI haters" instead of what it actually is, which is people who do not like that robots have been programmed to completely ignore the robots.txt files on a website.
No AI system in the world would get stuck in this if it simply obeyed the robots.txt files.
Using the internet without an ad blocker is like fucking every sex worker in Vegas without a condom.
Practice safe internet.

If you can incorporate sales and advertising into your product in a very seamless and addictive way, then people will use your free app for its entertainment value and make you money.
In addition to what everyone else is saying, a really good reason not to have energy drinks on a soda fountain, aside from the fact that the energy drink soda would cost far more than a regular soda, is that energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine and if they were on dispenser some idiot would go and fill up a 64 Oz energy drink and drink the equivalent to 5 to 8 Red bulls in a single sitting.
No gas station wants to deal with the legal ramifications of "exploding people's hearts because they are too stupid to understand that these things can be deadly", because if people are dumb enough to chug Red Bull until they die they are also dumb enough to sue because of the deaths.
We've gone as a society from playing board games with friends to playing video games with friends to watching people we don't know play video games to watching video games play themselves.
They just really don't want people in the equation do they?
Everyone has their own opinion about it but I don't think that there is any eternal consequence to it.
It's just a really shitty thing that people have to go through sometimes, either shitty that they prevent the child from being born and then have to live with their own guilt about it, or shitty that they let the child be born regardless of their feelings and then have to deal with the consequences.
I think it was Alan Dean Foster who said (paraphrased) that time travel is impossible not because time travel is impossible but because there's a certain point where all of the time traveling that can be done will have been done.
The only downside is that you never know if you're on the final loop or not, so everything you do may be the most important thing you will ever do, or it may not matter at all.
For me it's not so much that the price increased. It's that what you get for the money vanished.
I'd pay $40 a month to have a modern version of the Netflix that existed back in 2013.
Now if you want to have that you've got to have netflix, hulu, HBO Max, Showtime, peacock, and 15 other services and spend $35,400 a month for all of them and it's just not worth the money, time, and hassle.
If they really wanted to make money off of this, they should have made it so that you can connect multiples together. That way your anime vtuber harem could interact with each other.
Fuck, if y'all got this kind of money hire my ass and I'll make it happen.
Worst case my family finds out I've been talking shit about them behind their back, but they're all a bunch of fuckers except for my brother and even he's kind of iffy.
Other than a couple of questionable porn likes I don't really have anything I would be embarrassed to have publicly known about myself.
In some ways I understand it though. I'm sure the pecking order and bragging rights of being one of the only fans people that makes enough money to classify yourself in like the top 5% of income earners in America is probably more thrilling and exciting than having a PhD.
Plus, if she's going for her PhD she probably already has her master's degree so it's not like she gave up academia entirely without getting anything from it.
That being said, I still agree with you. If you were close enough to be in the program you might as well just finish it off. What's it going to do, stop you from posting your photos on only fans?
Amazon is like that Stoner Uncle that says shit like, "just trust me bro, you need the DKAIRBGAUENBSHDBDJS 17-IN-ONE BACK MASSAGER TAX CALCULATOR LEFT SIDE ONLY LETTER OPENER CAT FOOD DISPENSER!"
And instead of providing said Uncle with powerful psychotropic medications and 24-7 supervision we made him into a multi-trillionaire.
