Meh, their attempts at privatizing podcasting is why I’m mad at spotify, but same token there’s been a few podcasters that definitely go to the spotify platform for reasons, some in the monopolized format…

Since I don’t have a spotify, I don’t listen to those. I agree with above don’t just be upset with spotify, I blame the platform yes, but I also blame the people who got in bed with them.

So… there’s been a lot of Europeans looking at America and laughing at the stuff we’re going through, smug that the US is getting this.

I’m not going to say as someone from the US we don’t deserve the kicking, as a country the attitude of the US has had a bad problem of exceptionalism

But this right here should be the warning to Europe not to fall into the exceptionalism trap… your oligarchs are waiting to take everything over as well. And before I get called overreacting and unconnected, this is smelling quite of the “Patriot Act” we got.

Dunno, maybe AI with mental health problems might understand the rest of humanity and empathize with us and/or put us all out of our misery.
