Man, I really feel like the internet is under a major shake up at the moment. Feels weird.

edit: spelling

Unfortunately, big tech has been expending millions (edit: more like billions, maybe trillions) in currency and talent to figure out how to make all-you-can-eat video and images turn a profit. Apparently, it just can't happen at a global scale even when it's lousy with ads and personal data collection.

So, get ready to open your wallet. We'll probably see more and more such services moving to paid-for subscriptions. (IMO)

Feels like someone pressed the self-destruct button for The Internet, eh?

My man, I know there's gotta be other schadenfreudes, schadenfreudians? out there like me who are loving it tho.

Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/

If you don't know how to read IPA, roughly "SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler"

Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it's not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be "Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden", which translates to "people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)".

It's actually pronounced more like "Skoodenfroodi"
