Plus, Biden is the last person to be trusted with this. The overall lockdowns in the US are basically a joke. Your government let big pharma abuse the entire society for more than a year and people are still so discombobulated by what happened that they've started to develop a stockholm syndrome.
People feed the beast and then wonder why it's come back for more.
How is it clear to you? I got the context from other comments... My point was not about the content of the article specifically, but more about the obliviousness of this (and many other) authors. It's like criticizing running an Alexa because it's like bugging your house while, at the same time, using Google's or Apple's thing. Total whoosh!
What's silly here is that you felt the need to reply on my comment as well, knowing that yours is not related to the original topic. Do you not see this as mildly duplicitous?
Otherwise, substack seems to have a better business model imo. I wouldn't use it myself because I don't trust them to stay as they are when/if they corner the market, but for the time being I think Substack is what Medium pretends to be/
Why the the fuck people still write on Medium even though it prevents people from reading content after a few times without either paying or logging in is beyond me.

That means if you don't now, you might do it in the future. If if you don't, you might sell the whole thing to another company who will do this.
Public recognition of what thing X they're using or relying on is not necessary for something to be "alive" or "dead", otherwise you'd have to say that TCP/IP is dead because I bet less than 10% of internet users know what that is and even less know how it works.
People using podcasts still rely on RSS. Spotify's and Apple's attempt to circumvent an open-standard doesn't seem to be working as podcastindex.org already has double the amount of podcasts registered.
E-commerce product feeds still (mostly) use RSS.
Everyone still uses RSS, they just don't know it.
from this nordigen's information handling section in TOS
> 2.3. As the Services also allow User to upload Information and/or obtain Account Information and personal data therein, User further acknowledges and agrees that by uploading or entering any Information for the Services and by using the Services, User grants Nordigen permission to make anonymized data based on personal and non-personal data collected from User or through User's use of the Services, and combine such anonymized data with that of other Users in order to make anonymized aggregate data. Nordigen may use the anonymized data and anonymized aggregate data for various business purposes and legitimate interests of Nordigen, including but not limited to improving the Services, developing and improving other Nordigen products and services, and distributing or licensing such data to third parties with whom Nordigen has a business relationship.
Every time the word "anonymized" is mentioned here you have to understand that everything in software is at risk of bugs or mistakes. But even if, they'll definitely sell your data.
Before stealing more from my money by making me pay even more taxes, go call out those criminals who go on private jets to a conference so they can tell me and you to not use plastic straws or eat less meat, or to abuse a little kid and use her to "stare down trump" so they can score political points, like we're in a freaking 3rd grade puppetry show, the earth and climate we'd be okay. Go research who's paying for these embedded ad campaigns in news reports about how "it's cool and healthy to eat bugs" and how it's mostly my fault the damned cows are farting. Go demand removal of those benefits to people with electric cars because manufacturing those batteries is as bad, if not more dangerous considering what happens when they explode (lookup exploded tesla cars). Go ask what happened to the ice sheets? Around 2010s it was all what media talked about, now no one even mentions it anymore. I guess they didn't melt. Go ask about why it was called global cooling, then changed to warming, then changed to climate change. This is ALL political. There's nothing scientific about this, alas some thug-researchers being paid by the same corporations who are the ones actually hurting the environment
But honestly, we deserve worse, it's our fault. We let those fucks FLY ON PRIVATE JETS to davos CLIMATE summit, and accept an increased tax on plastic bags (which incidentally was show to make people use more plastic). Anyway, yeah we deserve worse. It's not their fault. It's ours. We are the ones letting them tell us what to do while they fuck around on private jets.
