Yelp used to approach businesses with proposals to to that, yes. Had a friend with a small business years ago and he would get called by Yelp constantly trying to get him to pay to improve his reviews. It's so shady.

Or smaller yachts. And then the terrorists win. Is that what you want? I didn't think so. USA!

40%? That's just to account for inflation. Have you seen the cost of a mega-yacht lately?

Took a look at their robots.txt, it appears to block all bots except Google.

Hasn't the service also gotten worse? When it first came out, you kept hearing how it could pass the bar exam and medical license test. And now all you hear is that it can't do basic high school homework without wrong answers. Maybe it was hype in the beginning and it never could do those things.

I guess the user base. But he was also shitting all over that saying it was mostly bots. You could say it was a strategy to bring the price down, but he still paid $44B so that didn't work.

LOL i follow that guy on Threads now. So poor use of $44B!

I keep wondering what was the asset that Elon bought that was worth $44B? The brand? No, he flushed that down the toilet. The technology? No, he was crapping all over that from day one. The staff? No, he fired most of them. Twitter had no real estate. What was THE THING he paid $44B for?
