…wait till you hear about the people that write for a hobby.

not everyone writes for profit

…and to any of the feeds actually contain an article ? or just links back to website, so they get pageview ?

you have grown up in a broken age

its silicon valley baby ! you haven’t needed a profitable, sustainable model for decades. you need a big mouth, a slide deck and the phone numbers of a few suckers with lots of money.

OPs question suggests there was at least some illusion !

british comic stuart lee on the subject.

imagine being in the strategy meeting with your team, when they suggest a play based on suspending withdrawing food from child would go well with your voters.

imagine agreeing to go with it. getting a speech written about it and one day standing at the lectern to say in front of crowd of assembled people “it is not our responsiblity to feed children”. and then pausing for applause and going home and telling your spouse, “today went great”.

in this supply chain of inhumanity, there were so many opportunities for the heart to say “yo…something is off here…cant quite put my finger on it…but it doesnt seem…right ?.”

to sail through all those checkpoints of human decency, and go through with it, is nothing less than psychopathy.

the unplanned kids that arrived under anti abortion laws.

it’s a weird mindset.

the idea that a cabal of mods were going to take things in a good direction was always unsound

thats incestuous
