YES! Opt in should be default. with a way to get paid ...

I want a list of slop to avoid. my time is precious and my backlog is already big enough. If I'm only supporting CEO salaries then I auto opt out, in so many ways.

How do I tell if my 15 year old router is evil?

like I can trust the corporations to do any of that? Nobody should be able to take my images and make money off of them, especially stuff that has been online for years before any of this 'virtuous scraping' came around. You wanna be able to take it? Then you don't get to make any money from it ....

It should be "With no OPT-IN option"... Opt-Out is the thief's choice. No good reason for Opt-Out to be default.

Welcome to the assembly line guys. You'll have production speed buzzers soon enough.

History? What's that? The world didn't exist before me! But honestly, I think we have to form a true civilization before we can degrade from one, and from what I can tell people have just been making stuff up as they go. Our 'civilization' seems like a patchwork that is wearing thin at the seams (institution on top of institution), I think it's time to design a suit(systemic approach) to present ourselves in, you know, all respectable and stuff. You never know when we'll have visitors. Hell, who cares about the visitors, I just don't want my backyard to be diseased and radioactive, damnit.

Harper's doing a great job of dumping anything related to science into the trash. It's a sad thing to see something so fundamental pushed aside like rotten food in favour of short term economic gains. So much power with less than 40% of the vote... how about some proportional representation up here, maybe? It seems somewhat disingenuous to ignore thousands of votes and still claim to be a healthy democracy.

It makes me sad. I really enjoyed both previous games, and replaying them whenever I want is a pretty big issue for me.

Yah it's pretty messed up. For sure. Lower quality of service is a better choice than raping my bank account.

I can certainly see them 'lying through their teeth' but at least they aren't charging me per GB. Throttling would be a better symptom of their corruption than a bigger bill.

This seems like a much better choice for bandwidth management than the UBB BS that is happening. Until the infrastructure catches up with video demand I can understand a little of sacrifice for other people.
