tanteFirst it was: "Search is bad now, I'll just use Reddit to find answers.". Now Reddit is trying to kill itself while the search engines inject falsehood generators into their pipelines for weird reasons. Finding information is gonna get a lot harder.
Brian Perry@tante It’s starting to look like the first phase of the Internet was about making information available in unprecedented ways, but the next phase is about holding information hostage. “Pay me or your precious online community gets it!”
@tante It also occurs to me that when knowledge is cheap and easily available, an attempt can be made to sell ignorance…
@tante We have made information so cheap and easy to share and obtain, people will seek to hide information from us so they can once again charge money for it. Cross-reference this urge with rising interest rates, and the digital information bonfires are at the ready.
