    Man, I really feel like the internet is under a major shake up at the moment. Feels weird.

      Unfortunately, big tech has been expending millions (edit: more like billions, maybe trillions) in currency and talent to figure out how to make all-you-can-eat video and images turn a profit. Apparently, it just can’t happen at a global scale even when it’s lousy with ads and personal data collection.

      So, get ready to open your wallet. We’ll probably see more and more such services moving to paid-for subscriptions. (IMO)

          Schadenfreudler /ˈʃɑː.dɘnˌfrɔ͜ɪd̥.lɘr/

          If you don’t know how to read IPA, roughly “SHAAH-then-FROYD-ler”

          Btw: I just constructed this word based on my native speaker intuition. I doubt that you can find it in a dictionary, because it’s not something one would force into a single word. A more natural way to say what you mean would be “Leute, die (hier) (auch) Schadenfreude empfinden”, which translates to “people who (also) feel Schadenfreude (here)”.
