The copyright lobby is crazy powerful and pretty scary.
The whole Kim dotcom raid comes to mind. At the request them, the USA strong armed authorities to storm the guys mansion in new Zealand using helicopters and raid teams, punching and kicking him while he was on the floor, holding him for a month without a bail hearing, seized his assets and trying to extradite him because people were using his storage platform to store copyrighted material - which wasn't even against new Zealand laws at the time.
He later brought a legal suit against them for it and it was settled under wraps and sealed

Rights holders are also why your streaming platform prices keep getting more expensive because they just can't control their greed. People keep complaining Netflix pricing keeps going higher for example but a big part of it is because they are being squeezed for more and more money by rights holders to have their content in their catalog
Think you mean SwiftKey which Microsoft just introduced bing AI into that you can't turn off. I 100 percent assume they now use all your typing data to train their ai too. They won't even let you use themes without logging in to an account so I again assume they also tie data to accounts.
Not only garbage repost content but garbage reposts of other people's content.
Reddit posters as a majority are barely more than content thieves and reddit helped themselves by implementing their own internal image and video hosting keeping people inside their site - meaning people will take content they don't own, rehost it on reddit and completely deprive the creator of views and revenue and reddit gets to put their own ads in between all the stolen content.
The way DMCA takedown requests work mean they can hide behind the safe harbour clause and take the content down if they receive a report from the content owner or rights holders. By the time a creator or rights holder sees their content on the front page, file the takedown and reddit process it - the post has peaked anyway and those million views are already stolen.
Then the icing on the cake is when users give reddit money to buy gold awards to give a shitty little icon to the person who rehosted someone else's content they have zero rights to.
It's a massive network of content theft that reddit profits from and now this shit added into the mix is actually pretty disgusting.
I'm spitting at my screen like it's adobe's face while reading all that
It'd be real nice if someone created a browser addon that auto-downvoted these same comments and puns. With enough users you could wipe out anyone wanting to make the comments when they get 100 down votes just by people with the addon loading the comments section.
