This is my first exposure to this idea and it’s quite compelling. Couple that with the perceived tone being argumentative instead of inquisitive or ignorant and that’s a recipe for disaster.

The fact the algorithms only care about engagement, positive or negative, means rage bait takes over too so that doesn’t help the perception that a question is actually an attack.

Where’s your source for this? I’ve never noticed it so it must not be happening

Would’ve liked to see what percentage have none.

I’m still buying CDs to rip and having my music library as MP3s on my phone. No internet connection required, I have total control of the files, and a physical backup if needed.

Whoa o black Betty

I’d argue they risk losing users who post links to their videos online. It’s likely the same group who tend to use ad blockers are also the ones more likely to link a video online, so YouTube would miss out on all the non-adblock users clicking links and watching the videos that way.

Probably why this scam works so well. It’s like how the bad spelling etc in phishing helps to weed out the less susceptible people so they don’t waste their time.

If you’re already falling for the Musk bullshit, then you’re a prime target.

They might be talking about a mission? Personally wouldn’t call that trafficking, but it can be pretty brutal depending on the mission

You joke but I literally pictured a super long battery for a solid bit before it clicked. I was thinking maybe it was coiled and technically really long like a spool of wire

Would super strength mean my back won’t hurt anymore?

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

Isn’t the whole thing with renewables that we can’t ramp production with demand and don’t have storage figured out? Use renewables as much as you can, and use nuclear to fill in those gaps.

The storage will probably have a similar lead time anyways and isn’t as proven as nuclear.

Or it fell out of their pocket before they left the house and they didn’t realize so they thought it was stolen

Isn’t that what the post is saying? That’s why their worldview changed; the sudden discovery of their phone at home caused them to realize it wasn’t stolen after all
