I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

Not sure if there's a specific Discogs issue, but people have to have (or feel like they have) disposable income to buy stuff. And with international shipping now more prohibitively expensive than before, the business model of a Discogs Marketplace seems unsustainable.
so is discogs just kinda dead for selling now?

You probably didn't know that Trey Songz, Fetty Wap, and R-Truth co-starred in a WWE movie back in 2018.
Well, now you do.

You could fund like ten laid-off journalists' Substacks for that amount.

I know this is an unpopular take, but most people pay nothing for journalism yet pay for streaming video services and programs like Amazon Prime. Cutting any one of those could cover the cost of a few laid-off journos' Substacks.
i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
