I'll accept being top of the ctf leaderboard today since I can attend tomorrow

Sure, but what about the people who are staying to see a little success and can't afford to stop it? It's like spam vs snail mail, lots of things happen via email that would never be scalable at the cost/effort of traditional

Not to mention why should these rights holders have to police this? Ideally we want talented people making content not chasing infinite frauds. Sadly I feel like it will force more and more content behind paywalls since people and corporations don't seem to care

Not the first time I've seen this. I think Kyle Hill did a series on how bad it was in science videos. The incentive is too strong, and it seems even or normal copyright tools are incapable of dealing with it.

Felt sudden but also don't think there was anything else

*Lock In

For example @scalzi.com 's Lockdown feels like it hits differently knowing it was written before COVID (I didn't read it until this year). Ofc some things are timeless, but these days I definitely sense more context in the difference between someone written in 2013 vs 2023

It's interesting, I increasingly find myself looking at the copyright dates on fiction I pickup at the library. Feels like before and after certain times really shape the works even if they're not set in modern settings
