8 days agoi would question how much it has displaced books versus the general literacy rates among the populations, sure there were more books, but if only 10-20% could actually read, does that make difference? I grew up mostly on tv, and i learned a lot of from it, simpsons taught me a lot about world culture, norm macdonald taught me not to give a shit about the news narrative and say what is real, and thousands of other references that went over my head but still contributed to my understanding of the way fo things. its an interesting question presently becasue we literally have unfettered access to all knowledge in our pockets and dont even have to know how to read.
the moderation and comment moderation history is nice but it is sort of hidden. that would be nicer if it was more intuitively inline. Also did you mean “bot scrapers” rather than “not scrapers”. And I have been toying with the idea, what about ai or bot supported pipelines, accept that they are part of the visitors, provide it optimized data, and then restrict ui/ux heavy processes to stricter rate limits per second, etc…sort of like a robots txt v2 or something
