It's a bit pathetic how a bunch of well known publishers partner up with Perplexity - the "AI" search engine that has proven to circumvent the rules for their own profit - to get a bit of their investor cash.
Even if it's just a cynical cash grab before the bubble bursts I find it weird how these publishers taint their name and establish a precedent of "if we get some cash we don't care what you do".
(And of course Wordpress(dot)com is part of this garbage fire. Just Mozilla is missing for a full bingo.)
