If that’s the case foxnews would like cut out most of the challenge. I’m not old enough to have adult children yet but I still have a hard time grasping news channels are entertainment venues.
News used to be actual news done by reporters. It had credibility and a degree of respect. This shift has been near impossible for my parents generation
I wonder if this is part of the reason Chevy dropped Android Auto and Carplay. Can’t lose out on data collection.
This must be very regional. Additionally, I’d bet a lot of this might depend on industry.
Someone who’s hourly might have fluctuations in their hours over a set period of time, like a month, or even week to week.
Seems like a number should always be coupled with a unit.
I didn’t click the link, it felt scammy. Did I pass?
I just try to buy clothes that can take the abuse. Once the bright colors get washed a few times, everything goes in together. Whites get bleached in their own cycle on occasion. It’s worked out goods enough.
This just isn’t where I’m willing to dedicate my time and energy.
Cleaning has always been a good enough type activity… I try to hold back a bit, or I’d be on everything with a tooth brush getting it perfect.
This seems to be going as planned. But why?
The 7 m workout app has been my friend on rainy days. Feels good to get some movement in, and it’s 7 min. I feel like I should do it, because it’s something.
Just like cable tv!
I wish I could upvote this 2x. I’ll be trying some alternatives. I get they have to analyze the text to make suggestions, but then seriously, ditch the data.
I was lazy and clicked through with the “big, common name should be OK” thought. *I’ll take my sticker of shame on this one, and try to do better in the future.
I think you’re right, I feel like I’m looking for a little good-will among our kind (bleak and probably misguided at best). Sellers and consumers need to coexist in some manner, but what that relationship should be is yet to be defined. For now, we’re in a place that needs change for sure.
Can y’all point me in the right direction on why grammarly is shady? Maybe that premium account was a bad idea, but I’ve loved it for the last few years to help me be a better writer.
Even if there was a balance and the ads were non-intrusive? I mean, servers and bandwidth cost money. I’m in the same boat as you where I have run ad blockers, adblocker blockers, no script, privacy enhancers, and anti-fingerprinting since forever ago.
I’d rather view a few reasonable ads than have a site try to mine and sell my data. If there was a balance, this is where I’d say it was reasonable. Since not reality, I’m with you, nuke them all, and just take the content.
A really good point was made in another thread. Reddit should stay open, and those that want to flock to it can and should. Consider it a natural filter. If the technological bar is too high to get to communities like lemmy and kbin, that might be a good thing. Segmentation of like-minded individuals allows for cohesiveness in the community. Yeah, it could have worked on reddit, but times change. Most people oddly don’t vote with their wallet, but those of us who do, are now here.
It seems like we’ve all lost the plot. We’d probably be willing to view ads if the experience wasn’t literally jarring. Try browsing for a day on a plain-no-extension browser. If you use other web enhancement tools kill those too. Straight-up internet is cancer, especially on mobile.
It’s impossible to read a 250-word article without being interrupted 5-7 times. Two of those interruptions are likely a full page overlay with give me your email, and are you sure you don’t want to subscribe, just give me your credit card number.
Then there are auto-play videos on the side, some with audio on by default. I mean I came here to read something, so of course we have things flashing and moving and making noise, it’s the most conducive environment for thought, right?
Ad blockers and script blocking are essentially a hazmat suit that allows us to withstand a hostile environment. Remember when we said myspace pages with audio and [marching-ants] borders was a bad UX? At least we didn’t have overlays back then.
Go back to basics and consider what makes a good vs bad internet experience. The reality sounds like someone with a minor case of severe brain damage. I think we’ve just become unashamed of greed as a society. It’s clearly all just about money.
Those annoying customers/users generate content and we have to put up with them so we can monetize it. *Sadly, It’s unclear if I’m talking about youtube, reddit, or nearly any other site.
Le sigh.
I wish he wasn’t right, but he probably is.
The Imgur, tictok, Twitter, Instagram merging machine with bots, spam, ads, and privacy invasion is ready to go, sir!
Wouldn’t that be known as a land contract?
