YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    It’s easy to work around the AI issue by providing the devs an API key for Apollo, RIF, etc. and charging a reasonable price. Instead Spez took the nuclear option like all platforms these days. They don’t give a single fuck about the users.

    Anyway it’s been happening for years like others have mentioned. Once stakeholders are involved if you have to ask a question the answer is always money
