If you're genuinely not trying to be dismissive and just have a sincere question you want to have an answer to then I _strongly_ implore you to be more aware of and careful about how you express yourself.

Because as your first sentence is worded virtually all readers will assume you are hostile and not asking in good faith.

Sadly the real answer is much less dramatic: we did this entirely to ourselves, voluntarily, purely out of lazily taking the path of least resistance offered us by companies that don't have our best interests in mind.

Why would you have to give consent? It's a legal requirement that the information is public. I genuinely don't understand your point there, do you also complain that you had to pay taxes and you weren't even asked for consent?

Individual memberships are priced 1000x higher than individual ad revenue because only 1 in 1000 users will pay for membership.

You should read Time by Stephen Baxter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_(novel). Part of it deals with this precise topic.

Sort of like how there's a running joke, "this meeting could have been an email"; I think that for all the substance I found in this "4 minutes to read" blog post, it could have been a one-sentence comment in some discussion thread somewhere instead.

Are you as familiar with "condescending" as you are with "passive aggressive"?

Right, but you know what's even more effective than ads in search? Biased (towards paying customers) information in LLM output.

This is no specific comment on the article or its contents. But I am getting extremely tired of headlines that follow the "X just Y (and it changes everything you thought you knew about Z)" pattern.

You're almost right, but "class" and "caste" are not synonyms and cannot be used interchangeably.

Where's the accountability here? Good luck going after an LLM for writing defamatory blog posts.

If you wanted to make people agree that anonymity on the internet is no longer a right people should enjoy this sort of thing is exactly the way to go about it.

I might be out of touch, wasn't Chromium itself originally "ungoogled Chrome"?

Which makes it all the stranger that you're complaining about others doing the same.

Alternatively, the fact that the very first thing basically everyone who isn't Linus has done with vanilla git is introduce some kind of central authority might suggest that what git was "specifically designed for" is more of an outlier than you want to admit.

Everyone knows Linus invented and "specifically designed" git as a drop-in tool for his existing email-patch-based kernel development workflow, which is not how 99.9% of the rest of the world prefers to operate these days.

They go into details [here](https://www.ifmetall.se/aktuellt/tesla/darfor-tvingas-if-met...) (only in Swedish unfortunately). Basically they say that despite repeated attempts to negotiate a collective agreement Tesla employees have fewer guarantees, lower salaries, and fewer prospects compared to members at other companies with such agreements.

>I'm sure my comment will trigger negatively a ton of developers, because talking about JS like this it's going to feel like I've insulted a cult

What a completely unnecessary thing to say in the middle of an otherwise reasonable post.
