Just seems like insecurity. Reddit has some staying power but when the people who do free work don't wanna do free work anymore, it all starts to crumble.

Not even really surprised. And you know, now that this article is live, these companies are going to complain, and stop advertising for like a month, and then silently go back to advertising when everyone forgets.
This doesn't have to do with the topic at hand, but it's just so cool being able to directly reference sites and ways to download on Lemmy, rather than dancing around the topic on Reddit.
You know, in Jerboa, I can't even access half the settings. Just doesn't let me scroll. Don't know if it's just me.
Archive.is is useful, for sure. Another option that I have used for a long time is BypassPaywalls. It works on Firefox, as well as Chromium based browsers. https://github.com/iamadamdev/bypass-paywalls-chrome
Hopefully as Google is now indexing lemmy.world, more people will see it while searching and come hang out.
They had some quality communites. Ah well, we can make them here with blackjack and hookers.
It'll be interesting to hear. However, I really hope someone doesn't buy the rights to the Beatles and start generating new albums when Paul and Ringo are gone. It'll be soulless.
A lot of these people volunteered their spare time to manage communities for no pay. Wondering how far downhill a lot of these subs will go with Spez putting himself in charge of everything.
I also hope nobody is going to be editing their comment and saying "wow, this blew up."
Also, Lemmy is a great alternative, simply because regardless of the devs political views, literally anyone can fork it on GitHub, make Lemmy2, and link it up with OG Lemmy and Kbin.
