Websites and services create APIs for programmers to use them. So Spotify has code that let’s you build a program that can use its features. But you need a token they give you after you sign up. The token can be revoked and used to monitor how much of their service you’re using. That way they can restrict if its too much.

Scraping is raw dogging the web slut you met at the cougar ranch who went home with you because you reminded her of her dog

See its this shit that drives me nuts.

How did you get so hateful. Same bafflement I get with hard right wing people. I figure its the same forces being applied

Lol yea maybe they’re just more libs

I actually hope more middle ground right leaning people migrate.

I don’t understand how people do not get blood red angry at advertising more often. Its the root of a lot of our problems with censorship and they flat out just exploit what little free time we all get.

By the time I get home I got 3 hours to chill. Then these ads take up 1/3 of that selling me shit I never asked for. They indirectly forced every platform I ever enjoyed to become these homogenous boring vanilla time sinks. That’s because they pay one content safe creator and then the rest start to copy them. Now if I want to avoid ads, I have to pay extra fees which fuck it, the content creators circumvent by putting ads directly into the media.

We should all be more hostile to any encroachment of ads into our lives. Its weird that instead I see people embracing it like it isn’t a cancer. We’ve lost the freedoms we had on thr internet to these ads and nobody seems to care.
