I agree. Several authors and editors I follow have recommended using 'said' and 'asked' for the majority of your writing. They are basically invisible to readers; just subconscious tags at this point. Using different words in every sentence is distracting.

The media companies tried their hardest to make it sound like you were destroying the entire industry and you'd go to jail for life as soon as they caught you.
What makes me mad is the boomers I watched copy rentals and NFL games are the same ones telling me I'm stealing by using an ad blocker.
How much evidence do we have for this? I want to believe it since it's my favorite fact so far, which means I should be extra cautious before believing it.
