in reply to @dog's post:

i saw a post on reddit that linked to a tweet that said "I have made a thing! Details in thread!" and the thread doesn't exist without logging in. people were linking to that 'im sick... of something' joe biden tweet the other day and the second tweet isn't even visible! do people still not realise that their tweets aren't viewable anymore?

I've heard YouTube is considering quashing shit like Freetube by forcing people to log in to watch videos, and therefore the ads on said videos. A part of me hopes they go through with this if only to see Alphabet's stock plummet because they broke a bunch of business and government websites.

I’m aware! I don’t see that as a real solution though - official dev shut down awhile back, and any of then nitter instances could stop any time if their key gets revoked. The problem for me is twitter’s policy.

tumblr had a login wall that could be deleted using inspect element, but in the past few weeks they made it so that even if you delete it using inspect element, the js on the page will just force you back to the top when you scroll down. like come on

the "surface web" was a huge quality of life improvement over the old web. people talk about "dark web" and "deep web" but like, the web is deep by default, nothing is findable until someone makes a finder for it.

I guess the de-surfacing of these platforms is partly because their surface nature was being exploited for profit? Reddit's whole thing was that they were being scraped for LLMs and they wanted to get paid for that, as they should, but rather than take the LLMs to court they just paywalled everyone.
