• I see so if your parents get scammed for every last penny leaving you no inheritance because they were too embarrassed and felt a bottomless pit of shame and humiliation to come forward about scam artists because no one can be vulnerable around you because you blame them for any misfortune. They can’t turn to you just for some strength or advice to do next steps for disaster management because disasters, challenges and growth aren’t permitted in your world.

  And let me guess: everyone in the world ‘annoys’ you.

  Have you seen how little regard they give to the meet app spam situation? It is telling how little they have gotten away with care about their consumers.

• This literally isnt book burning though. it is recording and recycling of (one) copy of (a) or even each book. Not even the original. One copy of many of each. One that you didnt even care about it until now.

  So you calling it book burning or comparing it to actual book burning is misinformation.

  And it is you willfully wasting your time here trying to convince somoeone of a lie you’re desperately trying to push here to control the emotion of others. Manipulation. A shit rage bait piece for attention and pandering to unnecessary anxiety and trying to depress other’s no doubt.

  So if I am annoying you by calling out this shitty faćade:

• No one here is stopping you from buying a copy. So stop talking like we are.

  In fact a good idea would be you buy a copy, scan it, share it to all those who you feel would hurt from it being so withheld.

  then you can stop whining about finite copies.

  Problem solved.

• They bought each one as a copy. They aren’t taking all copies of all books.

  Not sure why I have to explain basic math to you but here we are. Learn math bro.

  And get if they are recycling THEIR ONE COPY OF EACH which they no longer use that isn’t illegal nor worth an outrage. That’s how recycling and reducing waste works. Better than hoarding.

  Do feel free to go buy a copy and support the author if you’re this passionate to get enraged over what someone does with their own one single copy.

• They bought a copy of a book. They gonna do with it what they want. It’s their’s. Not your’s. Their’s.

  You didn’t buy it. And you didn’t care about it till now. Over something you didn’t buy. Someone else did.

  So now you are outraged they are making copies? This has been happening since copy machines were invented.

  You’re outraged they destroyed THE ONE COPY they bought? (NOT ALL. JUST ONE)

  They recycled rather than hoarded. Good for them.

  This happens every day since books and other things were invented to manage unwanted junk.

  If you want it go buy a copy and support the author, go for it. You want to recycle? Go for it. Both things are not illegal. Nor should they be.

  I don’t get your problem here. Seems like you’re too stupid to know what to outrage about.

  It’s like you discovered that dirt exists for the first time and how dare someone shovels dirt in some unmarked area you never even knew or cared existed to make a trench.

• ‘En mass’

  No. That’s not what that means.

  They destroyed (a) copy they bought. That is not en mass.

  you didn’t buy it. It’s their copy.

  They didn’t destroy all copies. Go buy yourself one of you wanted it so bad. You can support the author too.

• And we used copiers and voice recorders for that since before computers. That has been used since the 70s. Even earlier.

  scanning that and adding it to the common knowledge and making it accessible is something we’ve been doing since computers were a thing decades before today.

  Students now still use recordings that can be parsed into text.

  Suddenly it’s an issue now because someone needs so badly to be outraged by literally everything that can be distorted into a rage bait title like this one.

• Humans have been scanning books for decades. All books created today exist electronically before (a copy) gets physically printed of a book that remains existing.

• destroying (A) physical copy. in order to copy the (1) copy of a book(which most new already exist as pdf). kinda like how people do it when they scan the book. which has been happening for decades now to make knowledge permanent.

  far cry from “destroying all books” which these rage bait titles suggest. we arent standing around a pit of fire.

  bigger tragedy is how humans seem shittier at communication as AI learns. probably a more accurate title.
