Egg vs chicken. It was hand in hand. Corporate went to lengths to entice september users, which in turn attracted more commercial attention by having numbers and smelling of "money to be made", which bounces back to corporate looking for ways to rope in, lock in, etc.
More users more money spent grooming more users to make more money goto10
The feedback loop continued and now we're drowning in sites being sold on mobile-friendly "upgrades". Looking forward to what's next.
I hope "crack down" means adding things like a scare tag. This item has been detected to contain fraudulent information. Even in fullscreen mode or whatever it is these socialwhoring apps do.
Simple deletion (or his shittier big brother, stealth deletion) is pretty much censorship. That's legal for a private platform, but it's still a terrible practice to loudly decry.
Things like bomb threats and fire in a theater can be controlled because they commit a second act that you CAN charge. The original act, speech, is not directly controlled. Speech is never federally controlled - it gets compromised inclusively, incidentally, not directly.
Antivax circlejerking is a pox (lol) but it's hard to prove legally-actionable harm from it. So, like I said, shame it, ridicule it, you control the platform. Easy workaround.
I'm sure the masses will be delighted to quip about this left and right. Hell, this submission is an example. Gotta tell everyone about that new fauxretro that's mostly comic sans, primary colors, and synthetic ugly.
Oh wait, if that's original and novel then SBAHJ is a screaming display of creative brilliance that would drown out Ragnarok.
>>Amazon insists that drivers [eventually] receive the entirety of their tips
This looks like a good place to cram a solution to a behavior lots of companies seem to be enjoying: They are receiving the tips. Followup transactions don't change who was recipient to a sum of money the consumer passed out.
Admittedly, the fine print may say that clicking OK on a lot of boxes does not designate the driver as recipient. By the letter of the law, anyway. At any rate, it seems like the chink in the sleazy armor, to "help along" companies that I'm sure are faithfully self-regulating and not squeezing every drop of blood that numeric optimization recommends.
So people calling out Rewind is an evil doublebad mob with weapons, but the clusterfuck of claim reporting (not tolerating but embracing automated ones) is acceptable.
Whatever, let it burn, not my loss. When I'm cornered and absolutely need a youtube video I DDL and view locally. Like someone studying a plant strain and plucking specimens from a post-apocalyptic wasteland, so they can inspect it somewhere out of the cancerous radiation.
Need a talking head accompaniment as an excuse to "informationally" amuse the surface dwellers with pictures. Their facetweets will have the conspiracy discussions later.
There's nothing wrong with a Report button. There's a lot fucking wrong with a Report button hooked up to nothing but scripts/flowcharts. There's a colossal smell of bullshit* when a Report button is hooked up to nothing but algorithms and can be pressed by algorithms.
If your concern is "there's no way for me to argue the claim" then that circumstance is a member of the second sentence.
*also known as evidence that money is being made/saved/changing hands, likely at expense of something related to the original smell of ostensibility.

It's a bunch of shit no one needed. I say that without looking, yet without doubt apology or shame.
Well, "no one needed" is not 100% accurate. Can't forget designers who have to look busy at least once a quarter lest people start asking what they cost.
I'm genuinely asking. If it was a significant amount, I can at least understand the reasoning behind discreet indulgence. Conversely I'd expect a corporation to be disinterested in pocket change, if it risks brand image.
If it wasn't that much money, it suggests corporations have a strong confidence in keeping their transactions to their chest, their laundry hidden, are willing to compromise the "customer" for even small gains.
If it WAS that much money, it's just good old american capitalism morals and I don't need to recalibrate my predictions.
The entire point was that it's not all Juiceros. That there's a world of juicers that were accomplished without going into history as a lesson on stubborn tunnel vision and waste.
if the power circuit is internally reduced to -40 (ie has soaked ambient heat overnight) it's hard to expect much of the chemistry, if it's urgent I guess jam it in your pants or armpit. OTOH i'm fine with expecting a running phone to continue running upon exposure, while I expect the spec writers don't give a fuck if the display shits itself in five seconds.
now that everything has a decent PPI the display inches mean fuckall to me, a non-journalist who doesn't masturbate with 30-second demos at consumer expos, so a smaller size is more convenient (and means less drops)
make it thicker if you have to, it's not like 10mm suddenly won't fit in my pocket
if it was a laptop I'd expect the [USB] ports to be all-purpose for my technology needs; I'm willing to tolerate phones wavering between microB and C
This isn't even fraudulent or anything, just massaging.
Any system that is both (1) incentivized (2) imbalanced will be gamed. Typically this happens when some bean counter (of any variety, term used loosely) assumes rough metric X equates to complicated reality Y. But who wants to deal with complicated right? Gimmie a single oversimplified number, a unified theory of everything.
Anyway, our hardon for ratings has led to a whole menagerie of manipulators, of varying cost, efficacy, morality, and legality. Why does this one have such a shocked pikachu?
Call me when the ratings are fake, or at least bought. I'm not being very unseated by "omg beloved and trusted and ACCURATE (lol) glassdoor is being tilted"

Wow, so, are you seeing Youtube from 2007 or something?
unmod, AC has valid point about vertical v hortizonal rotation axis

They are "depriving companies of revenue" and that's the definition of treason in my country.

"Factual opinion"? Jesus go sit in the corner and think about what you said.
*Capitalists practice capitalism, use gimmicks to exploit paying customers
Almost threw in "loyal" but if I'm being entirely truthful that's probably not a common feature.
Interesting that you'd look to associate capitalism with gouged numbers and not the market value for goods/services. I thought that was The Point.
>apps know exactly what you accessed, what you clicked, what you wrote, what you bought, what you gazed at
BUT MUH IPHONE = PRIVACY

Functional systems tend to be more comfortable with oversight, documentation, transparency, limits and controls, checks'n'balances.
Exploitative systems fear oversight and public records. Use of voodoo tends to fear transparency.
Usually a hidden and shady system is that way because money is changing hands. But politics is fine too.
So, what, $500 per point? Buy a new cruiser for the police? I can bribe you right here if mastercard is okay.

Nah. I'd rather pay money so I can Just Hit Play on a genre nickname that supposedly represents the unique, inestimable Me.
Never mind that they're all coming from one giant vat that mixes BONE MEAL and EARWIG HONEY.
Oops, wrong joke. The feeds say CURRENT PRIORITIZATIONS and ADS.
So, radio. But with an app!
Was it that much money?

"Get me engineers who don't give a fuck" is how we got the Juicero.
Yeah. They got it done. Congratulations.
Heard somewhere they will outright unlist something from the two major stores (ios/playstore) if it hasn't updated in X timeunits.
