That and labor organizing, environmental awareness, and many other things where the absence helps the rich get wealthier .

It’s also just a blatant theft; there is a lot of money to be made here however it goes down , and that money goes to connected arseholes

Totally influenced me.

May have slightly corrupted my morals too, but totally ok

I’m thinking that, a lot of users were hanging out with relatives and traveling.

He expressed support by making an avoidable visit. Just like I would express support to the wife beater in my neighborhood by having lunch with him.

I decided I like this wasted money effort and resources. The market is not saturated so much as it’s waiting for true innovation, and that happens every day by thousands of small companies who are being suppressed by the big monopolies .

So the more that is wasted in AI, the more the little guys win because even the monopolies have finite resources and have to pull away from other things, new things, good things. Things that are provided by decidedly small companies who can be squashed easily

Yes, what we have here in this thread is a reaction to the collapse of tech news.

It’s still exponentially growing in all fields with tens of millions of brilliant technical and scientific people. It’s just that the reporting of it has collapsed due to … gasp… technology advancement which upset the economic model which supported reporting and well written articles.

That, and the fact things are advancing so fast nobody a clue what is going on outside their specific interests

Or one can be proud: enshittified since 1986

What drives adoption?

I was temp banned from all Reddit when I messaged the mods in a subreddit to complain about a post.

I think thousands of people did the same thing that day, it was a really obnoxious comment section that ticked off many ; but someone had connections and they issued everyone who complained a three day ban site wide.

I would be interested to see how they improve gig workers being exploited by algorithms, or if that is even going to happen.

My gut reaction about lack of content in peer tube is because the platform is ethical. It’s my understanding that popular video platforms started by pirating content, marketing campaigns and other shady things . This obviously is a not a good thing here.

This creates a cascading effect where only people who are more ethical ( rather than less ethical) post videos there. And only ethical ( more or less) people watch the videos there for more or less political reasons ( not national politics but belief how things should happen)

There are probably ways for them to jumpstart content there , but are dismissed, never to be used because it’s against the spirit of the idea. Hopefully someone can solve this by doing something that fits into the vision !

It always amazed me that Reddit stopped adding new stuff to make it easier ; instead the only changes in years was all the stuff making commotions and scandals.

It’s like they purposefully exist in a frozen tech made years ago and innovation is not something helpful to their business model.

The enshitification and out of touch culture came from a deeply entrenched mindset in the Reddit offices years ago

I have a conspiracy theory that most users who are an expert don’t post much about that.

For example I am an expert on two things most people find obscure; and for all my comments I just avoid talking about them. It’s too hard to wrap up an idea without lots of background information, there are no short posts or comments I can make about it.

Almost all the highly upvoted stuff are short. Were I to try to make an expert post it would be totally ignored. So why bother for me when I can snarky about things I know nothing about ? More fun !

I think experts who write short terse pithy comments that hit the mark, at a timely fashion, are rarer than hens teeth

There is a difference between the old fashioned scams with textbooks, and the new AI scams. Its true they have a lot of things in common. But the AI scams are more centralized, more powerful, can make more money. These are forging new ways to con people.

But we have gone through several generations of new scams, they are not all bad. Such greed and kickbacks are probably healthier than realized and contribute to a stable society somehow in a way that escapes me, but I feel is valid

I think he is suggesting he himself will come under legal scrutiny, threatening him: ergo mars, humanity and everything else.

It’s all about him

Are they not separating bot logins from human logins ? I did not see a breakdown for that. I’m wondering if anyone knows

Omg I just realized AI is the new monkeys… that is disturbing

I tried to moderate in a large subreddit and all I did was protect people who I did not like, or who got into slap fights. Quit after a few months.

They are a mindless organization, not one or a few using logic. Everyone working there can figure out the general issues, on their own, for sure. But it’s an out of control huge organization. Even the top leadership is along for the ride at this point.

Every department is headed by competent and intelligent people, I assume. But they each only control a small slice of the environment, and even in each division there are many things the middle management cannot control directly. Too big

It’s not like a car manufacturer, there is an exponential difference in the number of parts to control and the complexity.

When the sales, and other parts are woven in, I doubt there is a dozen people alive who can explain how all the company structure works together

I’m sure Reddit is gaming the investors

I would like to believe actual laws are being broken, and one day certain people will go to jail. I am vindictive about that whole series of events. I liked Reddit before piggy and pals destroyed it
