No, the point of the entire site is to generate revenue. They've been pushing subscription based AI to "help" with profile writing for a while. GenAI content is also supposed to be good for juicing engagement numbers to show to advertisers.

I tried the demo of Into the Grid lately. It plays very similarly to Slay the Spire but with a cyberpunk/netrunner flavour.

I got turned off my E:D group around the time Brian Thompson got Luigi'd. Someone shared a slightly spicy meme and got shut down so fucking hard by mods because "The CEO was just doing his job".

I have to wonder how much of the "criminals have easy access to guns" rhetoric is actually cooked up by the gun lobby, because the subtext feels like "so shouldn't you, too?" I'm also seeing a fair bit of noise about Castle Doctrine around the place and it all just feels astroturfed.
More giant corporations will definitely solve the problems created by giant corporations.
