Ew. Why are all the chip manufacturers going along with this stupid plan? I want to buy a processor and then own it and have it work in my best interests, not consume electricity and generatie heat enforcing draconian 3rd party DRM policies.

Simple solution: don't care about up or down -votes. Believe me, Internet points are a sham and waste of time. Focus on interesting conversations and connections instead.

you can't have an interesting conversations if it takes 3 or so powerusers to gag you

I see tons of interesting comments flagged/dead within minutes. there are rarely controversial, or low-quality, or rule-breaking

there are plenty of topics you are only allowed to express a pre-approved opinion about, and I can't even give you examples without getting muted

Indeed - I'm pretty sure a small cabal of people with low self-esteem is responsible.

Speculation, Zuckerberg, Musk read new-sites like this, can't bear their egos to be deflated. I don't think that's necessarily realistic, but I would suspect someone like that, personally.
