Of course there are degrees of censorship. The thing is one of those degrees is “norms everyone is fine with”.

Spotify has the funding to get the tech

“make a phone call to cancel your subscription.”

Part of what I’m getting at. This is one of those markets that, like beer, was intensely regional. The…

Hostess got eaten up by Bimbo. That’s what monopoly does! Now Bimbo owns all of those brands.

Hostess management was putting the screws to labor long before they got financialized to high hell and got themselves in trouble.

I grew up in the New York Metro Area.

That’s a bit narrow.

Not finding anything in particular may more of a problem of where you’re located. I can run out an get Entenmann’s right now in Philadelphia.
