YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

    undefined> The Library of Alexandria had many unique works of cultural and scientific importance. YouTube is full of mundane content, mostly entertainment.

    Are you serious? The vast majority of culturally significant artifacts were, at the time of their creation, mundane and/or entertainment.

      Are you serious?

      Yes. From my point of view, you overstate the importance of YouTube or understate the importance of TLoA. But since we’re merely exchanging differences of opinion, we might as well agree to disagree at this point.

      Luckily, you can store weeks and months of important material on a disk worth a few dozen meals, or join a group who already does it.
