Vodka. I had a bit too much of it a few times (100% my own fault, don’t copy me) and now I can’t stand the taste at all.

Oh I think pervert is an understatement. The courts have clearly ruled that he’s far beyond that level.
There are more than two options. Obviously.
This is classic Biden. It’s classic center-right Democrat speak. The Republicans predictably do something bad decades after they started trying to accomplish it, and centrist Washington Democrats sit around doing nothing. I can’t say they betrayed my expectations because this is exactly what they have been doing for the last 20 years.
Twitter’s rate limiting has been reported as perhaps being a failure to pay bills or otherwise properly manage their servers, and not some specific policy change. So that particular example might not be what you were focusing on or what you meant to focus on. Obviously Twitter made many other decisions, and the recent big one is cutting off access to tweets for people who are not logged in.
As for Reddit, the price of the API is not the point. Rather, the price is so high that nobody’s going to use the API, and that’s the point. But they want to pretend that it’s still possible to be used. And we know this is true because if the API really has such high value, then presumably some of the popular clients out there would have been worth it for Reddit to purchase, and the purchase price would presumably have some correlation to API usage.
On a more general level, though, I think what you’re talking about is the process known as “enshittification”. It’s possible for social media companies to avoid this end result, but it requires great care especially in the early stages.
I don’t think it’s reasonable to say that because only 10% of drivers are reckless, we don’t get to regulate the other 90% along with them. Of course if we had some magical wand that would tell us who the reckless drivers are, then we could only target the dangerous folks, but often that’s impossible.
Often the best we can do is take a look at the data and see what kind of policies would not be horribly burdensome for the general public and yet would save a lot of lives, and then we institute those.
The other part of the problem with the 10% bad drivers argument is that bad drivers change from hour to hour, and from day to day. After all, the majority of people believe that they’re good drivers, right?
The best solution is to stop reading Canadian media. Those companies knew exactly what was going to happen, enough of them supported it, and they deserve to lose their readers.
He could use their help, because his list of great accomplishments is not particularly impressive at the moment
