Was that taken off cause people were not able to take criticism?


My guess is that anything that discourages views interferes with the profit flow.

Remember the old saying: "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."

Did not know that saying, but its true.
For me this is the same as taking away freedom of speech from me.

The vote system is not effective, because it assumes everyone's opinion is equal.

So If an idiot, says, Eating meat makes you strong, on the internet that has as much leverage as a licensed physician/scientist saying, no it causes cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.

Then you have the blue and red maga, who are functionally illiterate, and they just latch onto which ever blip agrees with their existing "narrow" "myopic" world view.

Free speech in general, is too broad a notion to enforce, and that's why we've never truly enforced it. We've done it as window dressing, but push comes to shove, black body bag and an unmarked grave .

I finally didn't get employed at the place where I had had an internship, i.e. modern slavery. It didn't come as a surprise, but it still feels bad.
