The irony of Wordpress, the self-described guardian of the open web, causing anyone who gives a shit to pull down their old Tumblrs and blogs to avoid getting sucked into the AI bullshit machine, is really something.

Well, food for thought: selling access to works they don't own is the point of online #literaryJournals (for ex). But--they do it with permission & contracts, & sell to individual readers, not to for-profit businesses.

Unless they're using WPdotcom!

Lit & news sites provide a service for #writers to be seen by readers, but I agree wholeheartedly: #Automattic (for ex) has no right to then take those written works & resell. Esp if lit/#news sites are PAYING WPdotcom to host!
