Back then you could post to Craigslist for an anonymous hookup and play poker online for money.
Now the Match Group owns all the dating websites and successfully shittified them. Social media in general has been basically a big loss, with Reddit charging for API access since they don't want to lose revenues, Youtube trying to block adblockers, Twitter promoting Russian propaganda
Don't forget that everything wants to be a subscription service now, and companies will block open access to their platforms so that only "partners" (other companies that pay them) may access their platform, and they're sure going to show ads on top of that as well.
Also back then every other post wasn't full of political echo chamber warfare like your jab about russian propaganda you just couldn't resist throwing in.
Funny how some conspiracy theories end up actual being factual conspiracies. Remember when your news sources told you that 100% covid did not come from a lab?
there's evidence to suggest that there were two separate events from different strains at the start of the pandemic
this doesn't disprove the lab leak theory, but then they would have to be studying two separate very related strains and it would be strange if they just kept leaking different strains
You could, of course, take it as proof that the lab leak happened at around the same time as lineage B, while lineage A is from bats
If we look at the Durham Report all the claims that Trump was colluding with Russia were infact a Conspiracy Theory. Like Iraq having WMDs in 2003 was a Conspiracy Theory.
Conspiracy and conspiracy theory are not quite the same. Some things are just false claims. A conspiracy theory usually refers to something that has a semblance of consensus.
The Iraq war had a decent amount of opposition before it happened, there were like 100K people in San Francisco for the protest I went to.
