We know that they hate copyright, force rights owners through insane hoops just to get a DMCA, and that their YOUTUBE channel is rife with abuse. Idiots on YOUTUBE hoist anything they want and say "Fair use, this is for educational purposes, I am not violating copyright" and YOUTUBE doesn't automatically knock it off.
But...it all goes back to Google being the corrupt search engine that says "PAY US FOR PLACEMENT." You don't like how they conveniently put YOUR website behind a dozen porn ones? PAY THEM. They learned early on that BILLIONS can be made on placement.
We're supposed to give GOOGLE a pass because they've got a cute name, and they give shit away FREE. Yes, you can practically read entire books that GOOGLE thoughtfully scanned without permission. You can "cut the cord" on cable TV thanks to YOUTUBE. Hey hey, they own BLOGSPOT so that everyone can give away downloads of music and porn and even make Rapidgator money doing it.
As for giving me FREE space for ranting, I give thanks for the crumb. They're like Marie Antoinette running a cake sale.
We can't be too hard on GOOGLE, just because they keep control of their headquarters like Scientologists, and don't have emails anyone can find, and don't have phone numbers, and block anyone entering one of their offices. Just because they laughed and cut off monetization to thousands of YouTube uploaders even AFTER a YouTube uploader stormed their headquarters and committed suicide over her lost money.
The GOOGLE people have a tough time. You never know when the prostitute a Google guy hires to be on his yacht might accidentally inject them with too much heroin. So let 'em all suck up as much money as they can.
JEFF BEZOS? He and GOOGLE apparently are engaged in a "pay for placement" game on behalf of his Washington Post. (Yes, Bezos is trying the game so many media mogul bastards play...control the media by BUYING IT. He might try to acquire Fox News next.)
If you use Google's NEWS AGGREGATE to find out what's going on BESIDES Kardashians and Hadids doing wardrobe malfunctions, they'll give you the headlines. Remarkably, most of them will point you to...THE WASHINGTON POST. Like so:
OK, you click the link. The Washington Post will get extra traffic and you'll read the article. Or will you? No, you WON'T.
Most website newspapers don't give a rat's ass if you use an ad-blocker. For example, THE NEW YORK POST. So, what does THE WASHINGTON POST have that THE NEW YORK POST doesn't? Notoriously greedy dickhead JEFF BEZOS.
Greedy dickhead JEFF BEZOS is known for being one of the LEAST philanthropic billionaire despots on the planet. This is the guy who built an Internet bookstore up to the point where he could happily bankrupt B. Dalton and dozens of national bookstores. His Machiavellian scheme: to put every Mom and Pop store out of business, destroy retailers, and then turn the husks...the empty stores...into AMAZON WAREHOUSES. Hey hey, buy from us, and you can pick up your items...at our WAREHOUSE, which was once Gimbels or Lord & Taylor. Ha ha.
Once in a while Bezos pretends to be a nice guy and ask for suggestions on what he can do to stop being suck a dickhead. Like when people were worried that he took over the noble WHOLE FOODS. Would he soon be stocking it with Cheez Whiz or something?
Whoa, what's the SPIN on THIS one? John Stossel. The name is familiar. Didn't he, 20 or 30 or 40 years ago, work as a crusading consumer advocate for ABC? Now what's he up to? Selling out?
Of course, of course, John. Logic. Pure logic. Let's NOT call out Dickhead Bezos for being cheap and not giving to charity, because some charities are "for profit" and some of them pay their employees. Dickhead Bezos is doing the right thing, like the Koch Brothers, like Trump, like all the super-rich 1% out there, by HOLDING ON to their money and not even paying their share of taxes, and most certainly not in doing some good in the world. An Israeli organization recently BOUGHT land in the Amazon (that's the jungle, not the fortress) to protect it. Yes, for the sake of the WORLD, this group BOUGHT land to make sure it wouldn't be abused by greedy short-sighted idiots.
Why isn't Bezos of Amazon spending some money to preserve the Amazon? For the same reason that, unlike THE NEW YORK POST, THE WASHINGTON POST won't give you their slant on the news unless you pay up. He's a cheap, greedy, obnoxious Dickhead. And he's in collusion with GOOGLE.
