Can we just stop with the megacorp bullshit? Can regulators just please take a step back and look at how much has been ruined by all of these merges and buyouts?

The Warner-Discovery merger never even should have happened in the first place. It was a disaster that ended up making things worse for customers and creators alike. And now they want more?

Fuck off with this noise. What will it take for us to resurrect Teddy Roosevelt so he can go to town with the ol' trust busting stick?

What lesson? The only merge I know about that was ruled ilegal was comcast (or At&t) trying to buy t-mobile. Everything else is auto approved without problem.

They also did strike down a merger between pharmacy chains Walgreens and Rite Aid, but that is unrelated to tech and media, making it easier for old farts in congress to understand.

Can we please fucking not? Unless everyone in charge of discovery gets fired... That might be a good thing. Not holding my breath for that though. Hopefully some regulators can stop this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

How about no?
