Google, Twitter, and Reddit are proof that your business cannot relay on a middle man without that middle man creating a monopoly that shits itself

Valve is directly owned by him with no stockholder nonsense, as I understand it, so perhaps he has willed it to someone who will handle it well. Hopefully. I don't like everything about Steam, but I do like that, assuming I'm not misinformed.

What I'm paranoid is that it seems companies have started giving out arbitrary bans as part of a power trip.

My friend's an Overwatch Streamer and they shot him with a one-month ban for "Being Toxic"

His toxic behavior was... "Asking people to stop using racial slurs in voice chat"

I'm not gonna lie, and I hate to admit it, but I actually really like Bing's ChatGPT integration. For basic searches, it does all the legwork and gets you a summarized answer with sources for more info. It even works great on really obscure topics...
