So I have noticed that 12ft.io is having problem with newer articles. Anything posted in the last 3 or 4 days seems to not have been scraped by whatever they are using or however they are using it. I’ve also seen some people say that they’ve taken money from corporations to not scrape articles. Now I don’t know if that is true, but I will do some research and get back to this shortly.
Pretty sure they do take money, I’ve had some websites not work and it showed some sort of message. I forgot exactly what it said but it wasn’t an error.
Allowing Elon Musk to run a company is like electing a kid who thinks the government should give everyone free icecream and make crime ok on Thursdays.
Someone needs to find him a role where he can feel like he’s helping without getting in everyone else’s way.
I mean that role was SpaceX. Give them lots of money and get cool rockets. It was going great, and it was great for his image as it’s not very political. But I guess he got bored.
When you see what a massive moron he is it makes you wonder all of the people behind the scenes at spacex that had to deal with his stupid and make the company succeed despite him.
Every day some engineer would have to answer his questions. “Can we remove brown?” “Pardon me?” “The color, brown, can we remove it?” “I’m sorry I don’t understand, remove it from where? I don’t think our rocket has any b-” “No, I mean from the world. Maybe with our satellites?” “I…don’t think that’s something we’ll be able to-” “How about birds? I don’t like them. They remind me of god.” “We…we’ll look into it.”
I think the people working at SpaceX are probably glad Elon has his mind and hands preoccupied with other stupid shit so he’ll leave them the hell alone.
Can you imagine if he were as convinced that he needed to have his hands in every little piece of that pie?
Yeah, the part after “all the birds” that he forgot to type is “because climate change is going to kill them all and my billionaire ass is headed to Mars, fuck you, got mine!”
“Quick, our ad revenue is shrinking, what do we do? Restricting people from seeing tweets and defeating the whole purpose of why they’re on the platform didn’t work (yet)!”
“I’ve got it, we get rid of the whole name. From now on companies will say to follow them on X! That won’t lose them any viewership at all!”
“But if they’re going to mention a new name to people anyway, wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity for them to leave for another platform? All they have to do is say to follow on them Mastodon instead of X”
