This Matt Colville video feels like a real "emperor has no clothes" moment for WotC (of 2023 at least). Even with the "hey we love the *culture* of D&D" statement, the hard truths about D&D's clunky rules & burden of inheritance from the 70s rules… those are going to sink in more as D&D influencers move to (or create) other rule systems.
WotC had issues before but they were plastered over with community goodwill and inertia. Maybe that plaster has cracked beyond repair.

Twitter has removed captions from Spaces on iOS, and they don’t work on the web or Android

This could be claiming work of matrix authors as their own:
"Who is behind Towns?
The Towns protocol and app are the work of the members of HNT Labs. HNT is a small group of world-class engineers and product people that believe..."
which nothing in Apache license would allow.
Moral rights violations would still need to be resolved on the relevant court.

I want to think he is just incompetent and doesn't understand how the internet work and what Google does.
In Canada, it's Bell, Telus, Rogers, Cogeco, Videontron, and the indies ISP that could block access to news sites.
