Exactly! And the thing is, Gab Social always meets its monthly funding goals. He claims his AI project is paying for itself and more popular than Gab Social, which I find to be hilarious. As good as a right-leaning AI is for political research purposes, that's as far as its usage extends.
EDIT: also, I forgot: his art generating AI. He threw away investor money on something that was trendy for no more than 2 days.
Turbo's business strategy is to continue removing value from users in hopes that they'll sign up for his shitty premium plan that only restores normal functionality that one would expect from any other social media site, including Communities.win.
In case you haven't realized it, he always presents a boogeyman whenever he makes an unpopular decision. It never fails.
To be fair, he only has to try to force a paid users model because of the constant attacks on the site, and the deplatforming requiring him to have his own servers.
Gab is fully funded every month. On top of that, he has investors, and he throws away their money on stupid pet projects that always fail, like Dissenter Browser, Dissenter Extension, GabTV, Gab News, and most recently, GabAI (which he claims is doing better than Gab Social LOL).
On top of all this, he has a long history of lying. More and more people are waking up to who he really is.
It’s very possible that Torba was recruited into the Peter Thiel network; an insidious initiative by the homosexual tech billionaire to terraform the American right-wing into his own sodomite image. Their goal is to supplant and subvert real Christian faith, squelch real tech solutions and identify, catalog, control and remove right-wing dissidents that might stand in their way, similar to how Thiel used his facial recognition technology to identify Jan 6 protestors and the data obtained from Epik, Gab, Parler, Givesendgo, all Thiel projects, was used to prosecute them.
The thing is though, they flooded Gab with shills that made the place a waste of time, rather than making it a viable twitter alternative. It seems the deep state was working at cross purposes if that's the case.
Gab still is mostly useless except as Facebook lite, and it was even worse when it started, flooded with the most bizarre fringe autistic types...like RW twitter x2. Retard speech from what amounts to most users being TallestShill or VPN user drove anybody normal away from the site if you weren't in a niche group. I mean, only go on there for gun porn and cat videos. Anything political on there is more idiotic than this place, if that's possible.
If you train ANN (posed as AI) with text with some alternative opinion, then there is probability that this ANN will include this opinions in produced result.
So, not allowing training ANNs with texts from Gab he is just excluding Gab users opinions from ANN results.
Really, why people so vulnerable to all kinds of hype and marketing, regardless of positive/negative sign, that they lost their minds and ability to think logically at least one step further?
" 'AI' is good/bad!!!!!1111" and both parties start to do stupid and illogical things like dumb sheeps.
Merketing methods using any emotions are what make any reasonable approach to any problems impossible. I hope there is special segment in hell for those who work in modern marketology of any kind, from top politicians to the clickbaiters.
Look, some time ago here was a few posts about "disappearing internet". When content is just disappear due to technical or other reasons, intentionally or unintentionally.
When you talk about personal accounts, try to look wider than usual egocentric approach. Does that "personal accounts" bullshit worth loosing even 0.001% of gold that exist even in such garbage bin as Gab?
Of course, there is a problem of separating gold from shit, but you never know what will become gold eventually.
Real example - on one forum (car fans), someone shared a blueprint of replacement part. This was posted on some image sharing shitty service, so eventually it is of course disappeared. Nobody really cared, because there was possible to find NOS or used ones, so there was no need to manufacture this part by yourself. More than decade pass and part become completly NLA, all NOS and decent used ones was bought out and weared ones had wrong dimentions to replicate. People began to search original blueprint, but it was lost long ago, since this shitty image hosting bankrupted and disappeared. And the gold was found in one old post in different thread, where someone shared a link to a file on personal server with archive of nearly all drawings, blueprints, schematics and other useful scrapped stuff archived. That was gold under tons of shit. And if not this scrapper this valuable (for some people) information would had been lost forever.
Same with everything else. Ability to have an unrestricted access to the information people ever willingly posted to share with somebody is very important. Limiting this ability for whatever reason is an attempt to prevent further development of humanity sum of knowledge.
Latest mutilation of Twitter, that made search and scrapping impossible is a good example. Earlier you could easily check some posts and coincidences for specified time using simple script to scrap data for specific keyword or whatever. And possible found something interesting, like results or causes of some past event that become known only today. Now you just can't do that.
So, standing with those who rant against scraping and free access to information, makes you one who stand against ability of anyone to find the truth.
If you prefer that transcendental awakened approach - any limiting of access to information is an attempt to damage Akashic records or noosphere, meddling with natural process of information flow. Person who came up with idea to share something with others is a God-like particle feeding that Akasic/noosphere field. Any attempt to contain or limit this radiation in time or space dimention is a crime against Universe.
I just can't imagine that, f.e. I post things here with purpose for them be some private things or my "intellectual property". If I want thing to be private, I don't publish it on network created to share data.
IDK, may be it is some cultural thing, but I can't feel anything that resemble privacy/property rights for public posts or messages. I can't even imagine what feeling it should be.
I'm all for any kind of scrapping, bigdating, using in ANN training and copying of anything I publish in internet without any restrictions.
I'm not for every company profiting off individual IP, but the individuals. Did you forget the fuck spez drama? Every instant of fuck spez was changed to hail spez. Why should accounts like that be available? Australia police are allowed to pretend to be the user in their social media due to covid laws.
You, and I simply have different situations on our minds when this topic comes up.
Personally, if I find something interesting and/or something that took a bit of digging to look up, I make a post about it. I also retweet/like a lot of information that I would like to go back and reference some day. The fact that this will now be gone is a big deal.
At the same time, there is no social media site that is doing this, and very few people would put up with this. In fact, everyone will call it what it is - a money grabbing scheme.
If their main product is running out of infrastructure, maybe stop the pie in the sky AI project and other projects that are much less popular?
Exactly! And the thing is, Gab Social always meets its monthly funding goals. He claims his AI project is paying for itself and more popular than Gab Social, which I find to be hilarious. As good as a right-leaning AI is for political research purposes, that's as far as its usage extends.

But it's our fault that Gab Social is struggling!

"...their goal is to supplant and subvert real Christian faith..."
That has to be one of the stupidest lines I've ever read in a hit piece.
Other than that, though, yea, he's mixed up in some shady shit.
Full context
Parler was always a honeypot.
The thing is though, they flooded Gab with shills that made the place a waste of time, rather than making it a viable twitter alternative. It seems the deep state was working at cross purposes if that's the case.

If the site is available to webscraping, there's no point in a warrant. There's no protection in refusing to comply.
Is that why everybody here use archive.org webscrapper to share links to information that would have been lost without webscrapping?
Bypassing paywalls isn't a gotcha when the discussion is personal accounts.

Personal account not being equivalent to right to privacy to someone here is very odd to me.

Eh, as a regular Gab user who won't ever pay a dime to them, I don't mind my old posts not being available.
Personally, if I find something interesting and/or something that took a bit of digging to look up, I make a post about it. I also retweet/like a lot of information that I would like to go back and reference some day. The fact that this will now be gone is a big deal.
At the same time, there is no social media site that is doing this, and very few people would put up with this. In fact, everyone will call it what it is - a money grabbing scheme.
So any posts referencing a Gab link are now useless past a week for non-users and past two months for normal users.
Yes.
