Hot take: this is their plan to choke out smaller publishers who can’t afford to just eat these losses. Once there’s no more real alternatives they’ll start to squeeze

I was actually thinking about this wrt healthcare access earlier. I have a genuinely religious conviction against the intimate, personal details of my condition being processed by a machine and made available online. That is the business of myself and a professional caregiver, not a tech company and whatever “partners” they feel like sharing it with. You’re supposed to be able to opt out, but practically that’s almost never possible

Anyways I know it’s in an entirely different field, but this felt like a hopeful precedent. Thanks for sharing :)
