i think tech companies have some weird problem where they feel bad about lying to you about the time a post was made, but only about that specific thing. so they feel bad about inserting an ad in the middle of your timeline that is otherwise sorted by time. therefore they have to invent some "goodosity" score for posts that might appear on your feed, then they can just adjust the goodosity score of promoted content so that they appear in their proper place (everywhere).

I think the tech companies know that >90% of the stuff people post is crap and that causes social media services to eventually hit a point where users either become accustomed to just scrolling past everything (including ads) or stop using the service entirely because it is just stuffed with poo poo. nextdoor has hit that point for me. despite the racist guy always starting "saw a suspicious person" posts it used to actually be a useful place to find out about upcoming events and such. now that anything useful is buried in an endless stream of people plugging their businesses or trying to sell furniture for 10x what it is worth, why bother?

there’s also a big difference re. mandatory seatbelts vs. a prohibition on driving oneself. if you ignore the former, you might die. if you ignore the latter, you may take someone else out too.

you're never completely erasing the demographic who feels entitled to unlimited, free stolen poo poo, and you're losing nothing to piracy from the people who literally can't buy what you're selling either because you're bad at selling things or they're poor just about everyone else is willing to pay a reasonable price in appreciation of someone else's hard work, in the hopes that they'll continue to do that more

i feel thats p much a "water is wet; trump is bad" no-poo poo article. everyone already knows if you make legal sources easier+affordable it kills piracy and whatever is left is p much people that couldn't pay (14 year olds, 3rd world countries, whatever) anyways. i stopped pirating things from like '11 to '16 but with the splintering up of movies/tv as each publisher and studio wants their own ~unique snowflake~ service and demands extra money or whatever from netflix and library starts to rot, i've started using bittorrent in the last year or two than i have the last 5+ years. i also havent pirated music in years since everything is on spotify and so much easier to have it all in 1-place across my desktop/workstation/phone
