     Today
     * Reddit ends free API access.
     * Twitter turns off anonymous reading.
     * Youtube is talking about banning ad-blocking users.

     The tech industry was living on cheep money and low interest rates, and now they're all afraid to let their precious content get used for AI training.

     The walls are going up, the lawful corporate web is collapsing in on itself.

     I didn't think they'd raise the walls on *my* garden, sobs the woman who registered at the walled-garden website.

     Imagine if you started a blog somewhere and were posting to it for years, gathering an audience, expressing your ideas.

     And then one day the service provider just locked your blog behind a login-wall, removing your blog from the digital commons and enclosing is as part of their digital capital.

     That'd really suck wouldn't it?
