They just banned me too. Such a strange goober. I genuinely hope for their sake they take me up on my offer. Just email The Atlantic's editor, say "I've been a good dog who protected your property", and ask for their share of the profits. They earned it.
For reallll, got more comments out of them in this one little crit session than in the last 4 years their acct has existed, they are reallly workinggggg lol, should get paid for that even lol
Does suck cuz there is an actual discussion to be had about the difference between getting attribution, credit, material benefits for your work vs being able to dictate the creativity and access to information of other people by enclosing an entire realm of thought or aesthetic as completely yours and completely original and therefore completely your right to dictate what happens with it for eternity or at least until a while after you die. And that these things are not the same and actually contradict each other. Cuz ofc IP and copyright law is usually used to get people to hand over their theoretical legal rights to publishing companies and mega-corps and deny them credit and benefits for their work
Paywalling your own post for someone else's benefit is such behaviour. If my dog defended my things like this I would kiss him on the lips. On the lips.
