      L4s is a bot and it seems to source from a lot of the mainstream journals that all have those stupid paywalls.

      I guess people are just expected to have a solid ad blocker these days.

      Also I think a fair chunk of those sites let you read the article if you’re coming from Twitter/Reddit but that doesn’t work on Lemmy.

      Not really.

      The valuations under consideration demonstrate the extent of tech’s retreat from the heady days of the private funding boom that peaked in 2021. Reddit raised funds that year at a $10 billion valuation, and could potentially have been valued as much as $15 billion in an IPO, Bloomberg News reported in 2022.

      I’d like to think we all had a little bit to do with it also.
