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?

    When billionaire fascists start being held to account, they lash out.

        It’s unclear whether it’s a misuse of the word in this case… though amassing billions is a fascistic event. You can’t do it without stepping all over people. Many people.

          Elon Musk does fascist things.

          But that doesn’t mean every bad thing Elon Musk does is fascist. Sometimes it’s just greedy. Or stupid.

            So, even if a person does fascist things, the fact that some of the bad things that they do aren’t fascist means that the person isn’t a fascist?

            A person isn’t a fascist unless every bad thing they do is fascist?

            Is that what you’re saying?
