Cargo cult is certainly an apt description, and I've thought that many times. Whether it's about money, intellectual property, creating things... one of the threads these booms all have in common is people going through the motions without understanding the things they think they're innovating.

You are one of the writers I like enough that I don't need to know the premise of a book or read any blurbs; happy to crack it open completely cold.
Looking forward to whatever this is going to be

It's comical for Susan "I'm sure he learned his lesson" Collins to voice 'concerns'. No one cares about your 'concerns'

Is it too naive to hope that this represents a genuine cave on their part? I'm a bit cynical but it really does look like it.

Same with blocking specific ads. I don't know how many times I clicked 'block' on base44 ads and being told 'we won't show you this anymore' only for them to show back up a week or two later.

Similar to how Alex Jones chose to lose his defamation cases by default rather than fully complying with discovery ... As harmful to them as the obvious implications are, it is worse to let people see how bad the full picture really is.
