At least newsweek will help it garner more attention amongst the truly clued-out.

There's so many ridiculous concepts in that awful series, but they did ask for dystopia :D

Oh look, the MS steamwreck.

Whoever thought that we'd look at idiocracy and think "well, it's optimistic because they put the smart person in charge of real policy"

That was always one of my favorites, and it seemed so likely. Now, however, I realize that it was horribly overimpressed with corporations, like most 80s stuff was. We know innovation isn't something megacorps do anymore.

The one I wished for was more of a Shadow Run future, and my native friends and I used to joke about it.

Most likely? That's a tough one. I would guess "V for Vendetta".

What would I prefer? Foundation. At least then we're multi-planetary.

Only one who wrote about it was the one who went self-hosted, the rest didn't talk about it. I would guess it ended up being the final straw, like "why direct people to X to back me instead of just promoting myself where they see me." Especially if, as you say, the cut was so similar.

7 out of 9, yes, one went to self-hosted, another left in favor of youtube directly, the rest in favor of twitch. The last two I follow on Patreon (Techmoan and My Mate Vince) just sorta rolled past the whole thing.
