    algorithms now promote a post by how many reactions it has recieved, even if these reactions are negative

    ESPECIALLY if those reactions are negative. Rage and fear are THE top engagement drivers and engagement means retention means ad impressions means dollars.

    That it also means the end of democracy is immaterial to the billionaire ghouls in charge, of course.





  • Problem is that YES the people at Big Pharma who specialize in profiteering off of the misery of others are evil ghouls, but RFKJ’s proposals will introduce ADDITIONAL suffering without solving any of the current problems that he pretends to care about and/or know anything about beyond absolute surface level.

    So it’s just going to be more shit on top of the current shit and maybe a radioactive isotope thrown in for good measure.

    And of course, it’ll make RFKJ and/or his friends much richer than they already are.















  • Max. They have some truly great content (along with a lot of bad, but whatevs), but they’re REALLY bad at every other part of the whole streaming service thing:

    Their player sucks, their selection of sub languages seems more or less random at times, their CC subs are so badly formatted and synced that they’re literally worse than useless, and they keep recommending I watch the Bill Maher excrement every time I finish watching the latest episode of the excellent Last Week Tonight, with no option to block his smug face from my UI in any way.
