Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?

YouTube disallowing adblockers, Reddit charging for API usage, Twitter blocking non-registered users. These events happen almost at the same time. Is this one of the effects of the tech bubble burst?

That's a good idea. There's so much stuff I should/could be reading in the time I'm browsing social media.

Especiallybas a software dev with all the new tech that is coming out, will hopefully get myself to do the same (with Lemmy as a backup of course)

Yeah, I did download a few SW engineering books, but I haven't gotten to them. I've been reading Chris Hadfields books, the Apollo Murders and and Astronauts guide to life on Earth, a few cooking books like The Food Lab, The Wok, Salt Fat Acid and Heat, Mi Cochina, and some books on playing pool like The Pleasures of Small Motions.

The Pleasures of Small Motions

That's such an awesome title. I just wish it wasn't about pool but more like a meditative guide on how to enjoy life through slowing down and relishing everyday things or something.

Having read the book, if you read it for that purpose, it would work, it just uses playing pool as a medium for that.
