I mothballed mine, downloaded my data, and set it to private. But then they introduced that feature flag that uses our tweets to train grok and set it to on by default. Can’t win.

Now games writers are generally punished for being curious, punished for not adhering to SEO and performing keyword hocus-pocus. Every weekend my social media and discord fills up with talented but burnt-out writers who are amazed their job even survived another week. I wish things were different.

Things are way more brittle than you think in big tech. They're mostly reliant on monopolies rather than making great products, and have got pretty far based on consumers being fooled into believing it was a fair deal. I think they underestimate the public's intelligence.

There's a recent Dan Olson video where he talks about the Screenwave Media takeover of AVGN, and how these companies turn creators into content farms. Donut went hard into sponsored videos & churning out as much low-budget content as possible. They're not worried about viewers, they're making money.
