I fear you played right into their hands by writing about them. Any engagement is of benefit to these AI grifters.

vga, in The Ugly Truth About Spotify Is Finally Revealed

I think it was revealed several times already in the past. Few examples out my hat:

  1. When it was revealed how little they pay artists
  2. When they tried to corner the podcast market
  3. When they gave Joe fucking Rogan two hundred and fifty fucking million dollars for an exclusive deal

Zier, in The influencer lawsuit that could change the industry
@Zier@fedia.io avatar

Influencers are sales people. They are there to sell you things, it's a job as an ongoing infomercial.
All you are doing is is listening to advertising, repackaged as some 'expert' or 'guru' who claims to know some special information that they are sharing with you.
It's an Ad.

sharkfucker420, in Metaverse hype fizzles out as Korean tech giants pull plug
@sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml avatar

There was hype?

SlopppyEngineer,

Within the billionaire bubble there was a lot of hype. Outside of that, not so much.

A new platform to colonize, gathering info on what people were looking at in the virtual world and selling that to advertising made their wallets go very erect.

masterofn001,

Some people just love looking at themselves.

BentiGorlich, in Brazil shuts BYD factory site over 'slavery' conditions
@BentiGorlich@gehirneimer.de avatar

I think the destinction between the chinese firm constructing the site and BYD itself is quite important here. I am absolutely not a fan of chinese car manufacturers but its just not the same as if BYD was operating the site right now and this news came to light

asret,

If you outsource your work, you outsource your reputation. BYD is absolutely responsible for the conditions of the workers.
