Tech bros: Oh it's great that this close platform that everyone depends on is imploding. Maybe now we'll get an Open Source, Uncensored version of the Platform !
Everyone: So you're going to build and maintain the Open Source version ?
Tech bros: No.

Etsy, screwing over independent merchants yet again.
"Etsy sex toy ban sparks seller outrage.
Sex toys and many other erotic items are to be banned from online marketplace Etsy - sparking a backlash from sellers.
Also prohibited from 29 July will be items which - when modelled - expose body parts such as female nipples or the cleft between the buttocks." - BBC News
I wonder if this is MasterCard / Visa Puritanism repeating itself ? (see: OnlyFans in 2021)

Small example of "Why did they make this worse ?"
Am lucky enough to have two Lamy fountain pens. Many years old I love them & how they write. Use both with official Violet ink from cartridges - colour only comes in carts. Lamy company was bought by Mitsubishi recently and I found myself needing new ink carts - and they have CHANGED THE INK AND MADE IT WORSE.
I just.. I hate this.
Not life or death it's just.. incrementally worse.

There's a trope which I call - 'Dream Memory Hole' that I'm really not fond of but I've seen it done well a few times. Can you think of any good examples?
Am referring to when a /tv show/film/book ends with a variation of:
A - 'It was all just a dream' No One remembers anything
or
B - 'Everyone's memories get wiped and no one remembers anything'
or
C - 'Everyone except ONE character has their memory wiped'
ST:Next Gen did great versions of (C), as did Stargate, also Farscape ?

So, let me get this straight.
Their *entire business model* involves *stealing from the open Internet* and now they are running out of places to steal from?
There isn't a violin small enough ~in the universe~ for me to want to play regarding this.
