@pre As a Canadian techie, I was telling everyone who would listen that this was the obvious and unavoidable outcome if bill C-18 was passed.
I wrote a (hopefully) funny thread about it.

I think #Chekov said something to the effect of, you can't show the #audience a #performative, #senseless act of #parliament in Act One unless the #government can shoot itself in the foot with it in Act Three.

Techies: 'Fraid not. You're trying to #have your #cake, and #eat it too.
#Canadian #Legacy #Media: We don't get it. How do you eat your cake if you don't have it?
Techies: You didn't take any history classes, did you?
CML: Why would we need those?
Techies: Anyways... as long as C-18 is in effect, you won't get any traffic or exposure.
CML: That sucks! Fix it!
Techies: I give up.

#Canadian #Legacy #Media: Hey, why are you calling us legacy media?
Techies: Well, you're the old media interests. #Newspapers, commercial #TV, maybe a bit of #radio if there's any of that left.
CML: Uh... ya, that's us, the media.
Techies: No, you're just part of the Canadian media landscape.
CML: ... Part of?
Techies: Yes. A small part.
CML: But we're the media!
Techies: Oh, brother. It's gonna be *that* kind of day.

#Canadian #Techies: Uh, that's #stupid. You #link to things on the #web; that's its entire #point. You don't #pay to link to someone else.
Canadian #Legacy #Media: No, no, it's a great #idea. They get all kinds of #value for it, so we asked the #government to make them pay to link to us.
Techs: you get more out of it than they do. Your #content gets much wider #exposure, and the #links take people to your own #sites.
CML: But we don't know how to #monetize that.

For this #ManospondylusMonday I present you with my old thought piece on why authors of dinosaur media should be more original with their titles: https://www.manospondylus.com/2020/06/the-problem-with-generic-titles-in.html?m=1
