    Fuck Amazon, but also fuck journalists who abuse words: bricking is not a synonym for “removing”

      Right? Bricking is literally making (its only usage) a brick out of it. You would think journalists are good with using words…

        Well, we decided that we don’t want to pay for journalism anymore and would much rather just have everything be funded by ad views because “information should be free”. So no, journalists aren’t good with words anymore because nobody wants to pay for it

            Because the majority refuses to pay and relies on everything being “free”. But yes, let’s all whine about how baaaad THE MEDIA is because it’s all just clickbait fluff.

            Which it absolutely is, but it’s not like this entitled attitude of “I deserve to get news for free” has nothing to do with it
