I don’t mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.
They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.
ICANN shouldn’t get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.
If you want someone else’s servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you’re doing something illegal
I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server’s IP. I don’t want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.
Speach lmao
This article is a TLDR of an investigatory book coming out next month already, but the double TLDR:
Spotify has begun targeting “background music genres” like jazz and electronic music for “Perfect Fit Content”. It’s made by nameless “artists” (mentioned to possibly be AI generated) and they get no royalties (don’t have to be paid).
Spotify takes this song, posts it to dozens, if not hundreds of fake artists’ pages, and boosts them to the top of the algorithm to get hundreds of millions of listens. More listens than actual popular human artist. This artificially pumps Spotify’s stock prices, and then the CEO of spotify dumped their stock, making nearly a billion dollars this year.
Likened to Payola, this hurts actual artists’ payout rates on Spotify.
I heard literally nobody wonder why he was a target.
Yeah, so pick a cool one

You could make indirect attributions like that to essentially anyone in American History.
It was set in motion by Reagan who fostered racism in America and created an Era of America for Trump to try and recreate. Reagan His platform, policies, and even MAGA slogan are mostly stolen from Reagan.
The collapse was also set in motion by Jimmy Carter who approved funding Al Qaeda so they could fight their soviet-loving government. This leads to 9/11, and American super-nationalism.
