Oh man I got in a big fight about this cartoon on lemmy because they were all like, “Well ackshully, there’s still a middleman if you buy print media, stationery and flip phone,” and I was all like, “I don’t think they mean that kind of middleman; have you ever had a page in a paper book ask if you want an AI plot summary, or a ball point pen make you subscribe to ink to continue writing.” They still didn’t get it.
I guess every comic has to pass a literal correct test over there.

@cswalker21@mastodon.online @jensorensen@mastodon.social As a former print media guy - you could just buy a newspaper off a rack and we don’t know who you are or what you do with that newspaper. So, there’s that. (Not that newspapers were ever perfect- they have always tended to amplify the voice of those with the money to print them)
