I've been following you already on TWT 😊 but basically I think a lot of people are trying to migrate their following list to permanently leave that site esp. with their AI ToS stuff.

Picture of tweet by @shiinareii who said, "All the poor artists and creators on Twitter.

Prior to today, you could opt out of having your posts used for AI / generative training. The new amended terms and conditions have made it impossible to do so." 

with a screenshot of Twitter's TOS that highlights this portion: By submitting, posting or displaying Content on or through the Services, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display, upload, download, and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods now known or later developed, for any purpose. For clarity, these rights include, for example, curating, transforming, and translating. This license authorizes us to make your Content available to the rest of the world and to let others do the same.

Costs of ebooks for libraries are actually disgustingly exorbitant and they also are "leased" out! There are great articles about this out there. I know it can be frustrating that libraries don't just buy a lot more copies, but publishers are definitely to blame here. apnews.com/article/libr...

Libraries across the U.S. are struggling to cover the cost of e-books, which have grown in popularity.
