Discord wprowadzi wideo--reklamy. Takie, których nie można przerwać, i trzeba oglądać do końca.

To zawsze wygląda tak samo: oni oferują zamkniętą usługę za free, ludzie dla "wygody" zaczynają używać, a jak serwis urośnie wystarczająco (wy pobudujecie społeczności, ciężko odejść) to zmienia zasady gry.

Zawsze tak jest z bigtechami finansowanymi przez venture capital.

Uprzedzałem 😉

No ale matrix jest zbyt trudny 😜

"Musk... so far spent more than $11 million...

One Musk-backed group... is running deceptive #ads that claim to support candidate #SusanCrawford but are actually designed to alienate moderate #voters by claiming that she supports a radical #progressive agenda. And now, #Musk is offering #Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition against “activist judges”"

"The #ads all feature the same roundtable of #veterans sharing their struggles after losing #employment because of #DOGE cuts...

it features #Musk throughout, incl the now infamous scene of him wielding a chainsaw on stage at #CPAC."
