Yeah corporate has expanded but so has the niches. There’s a huge amount of info in niche hobbies that has expanded over the past 20 years. Although I do hate how everyone makes a YouTube when some info would be better presented as a web page.
Imo things fell apart by the late 90’s when everyone stopped using Newsgroups and switched to Website forums for monetization.
The outsiders are still VC owners. Andressen’s company might be put out of business by another VC firm that uses LLM, but that happened all the time long before AI.
It’s called Eternal September and it’s been going on for forever.
It’s all still there, you just don’t read it because there’s not as much content just like in 2005.
I don’t understand this “the old internet was better” and I was first on the internet in 1985. (Technically bitnet)
What exactly are you looking for?
Well of course owners aren’t going to replace themselves. They’re the owners, not the lowly workers. It’s like how owners exempt themselves from return to office mandates or how employees are fired if they find out you have another full time job yet owners “run” multiple businesses.
You always say you are done after being proven wrong. Which part of the percentage of Blacks in prison have declined did you not understand? I linked to Black leaders who asked for the bill. I linked Black equality websites that said it has gone down. You linked to Wikipedia that said it went down. Your final dodge was prison numbers as a whole have increased but again your own Wikipedia article shows that even in absolute numbers, it has gone down from 2008. Obama helped. Biden helped. There isn’t a ratchet. You it proved yourself.
I already said prison population has increased. But on a percentage basis, Blacks are less incarcerated than in the past. Is it racist that there are now far more Whites in prison because prison population has increased on an absolute basis?
Yes there are more in prison. And not even using percentages, prison population has decreased from its peak in 2008.

Percentage. There are more people alive today than in 1970. The total number jailed has also gone up.
But the percentage of Blacks incarcerated has gone down. I already said Blacks are still over represented. But it has improved since the crime bill. Your claim the crime bill was racist is false.
Yeah I want to completely switch off of Plex but neither is a good solution for my non tech family members. Mother in law is in a retirement center where they use wifi provided for the condos so I can’t access her router. And I would expect her ip to occasionally change on reboots etc. I might try IP ranges or narrow geo blocking.
I took the total numbers from Wikipedia
The wikipedia link you gave doesn’t have historical numbers? But it did say Black incarceration declined. Which is the opposite of your claim.
Your numbers aren’t in the Wikipedia page you linked. Your link did say this: “However, in the 21st century, the incarceration rates for African American and Hispanic American women have declined”
I already linked this article and here are more links: “Imprisonment Rate of Black Men Has Fallen By Nearly 50% Since 2000”

I thought there was some way to use Jelly on the backend with a Plex client!
Jellyfin over Plex?
How does that work with Roku/smart TVs?
The example you gave was Democrats enacting legislation requested by the Black caucus. It is the job of politicians to listen to the citizens. Black citizens asking for laws to help the Black community are not racist by definition. Are you going to use affirmative action as an example of Democrats being evil too? Maybe you should understand the examples you are using instead of repeating Russian talking points.
Percentage of blacks in prison:
1970 41%
1980 46%
1990 53%
2000 36%
2020 32%
Yes Blacks are still over represented in prison populations. But the crime bill did not increase the number of Blacks incarcerated.
I actually lived through it instead of learning “Biden bad facts” from Russian trolls a year ago.
Funny how you are only now not interested in my thoughts after I proved your claim to be wrong.
A policy demanded by Black leaders having unintended consequences is not a Ratchet effect.
I hope they used rfc1149.
Black communities asked for the bill. It was written by Black leaders.
“Rep. Bass is right. According to a 1994 Gallup survey, 58% of African Americans supported the crime bill, compared to 49% of white Americans. Most Black mayors, who were grappling with a record wave of violent crime, did so as well. As he joined a delegation of mayors lobbying Congress to back the bill, Baltimore Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke said, “We’re trying very hard to explain to Congress that this is a matter that needs bipartisan support.””
“In a recent interview Rep. James Clyburn, a member of the House leadership and one of the most powerful African American elected officials, reflected on the reasons for his vote in favor of the bill. “Crack cocaine was a scourge in the Black community,” he recalled. “They wanted it out of those communities, and they had gotten very tough on drugs. And that’s why yours truly, and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, voted for that 1994 crime bill.””

That was a very hard habit to stop.
