Delete tiktok, delete instagram. If you keep in touch with people on instagram, then just unfollow book-related stuff.

This will probably help with your general situation as well, not only this specific unhealthy behaviour.

What didn't happen? GP?

Microsoft could offer a deal to put those games on GP without buying out the whole company, I don't get your point.

I'm also not defending Sony, any sort of exclusivity fucks us over for no reason (other than their profits), but the answer to that is not "let Microsoft do it too, that'll show them".

What good can come of this acquisition for us consumers?

All acti games could be on GP even now, that doesn't require a full merger.

You get negative virtual points from anonymous people on a forum.

"Free speech dies"

Unironically I think your obsession with Elon Musk is a lot more scary. Your history is pure manic obsession

I don't think OP means they have their whole business on Facebook. It's just a means to share their articles. All serious businesses that depend on online engagement have pages on Facebook and other social media that point to their websites, it's just a nobrainer.

While I don't browse facebook at all, lots of people still do.

What's the "proper" way to grow your business online, astrosurfing on reddit?

Sorry, but I don't get your point (no offense). I think you're saying good articles and shitty articles exist side by side on the same platform, but I don't know what you are implying with this. It doesn't make the aforementioned independant news sites any more corrupt or less valuable (make them even more so)

Enlighten me

You are using the word "dependent" and "independence" in their literal sense, in a completely different context.

"The reach of an independent media outlet depends on a free platform." is not a contradictory sentence, but you are trying to make it seem like it is, and that's dishonest.

>you tend to cater

That's a very safe way to form a baseless personal opinion.

They want to spread their independent journalistic work through a platform that reaches the most people. It doesn't make it any less independent.

Let's say facebook said you can't write about X or you always have to meantion Y in your articles in order to be allowed on their platform. If they complied, then they would cease to be independent. But that's not the case here, facebook is just a means to reach an audience for their independent news outlet without any sort of influence being enforced by Meta on their work.

It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Right? They also depend on their electricity provider, internet service provider, and also depend on breathable air, drinking water and nutrition

Independent journalism is truly dead
