Proof of concept for allowing super users to have a patreon model maybe?

Though I can’t remember the last time there were site wide famous users. Last I remember is that bird lady.

If this is their endgame the bot problem would get even worse as the value proposition improves for abusers

Yeah it has been nice. I definitely miss out on some news, but it’s worth it to avoid a lot of the other content there. I pop in with redreader every so often, but honestly it doesn’t seem worth it to ever fully go back.

Especially since there are services like Thorne that would help you manage it. Also this is a direct result of gutting trust and safety teams.

If they kick me off the account I am on I will finally be free of falling in love with a series just for them to cancel it after 1 amazing season.

People talk shit about other streamers, but Netflix is by far the worst for this

I worked normally hour, I just didn’t need a full apartment. You going to start your work day there’s breakfast you work there’s lunch you work until 5:00 and then you go to the gym and then you go back for dinner when you do something cool in the city. I actually have really fond memories of that period.

As a person who worked at one of these cool tech companies that provided food for breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks 24/7, I found I was only using my apartment to sleep. Most of the offices of other amenities such as a gym, and all the tech workers would go out for happy hours. If I was single this would be a very valid option. Some people don’t plan to spend time in their apartments.

People en mass make “economic” decisions. If they view an alternative such as lemmy as too difficult to use, or their communities are not here they will rather tolerate the ads. Learning to use a new app or having to start the community themselves is too much effort for most people.

They misspelled Dwayne Johnson. Hah

Up timing, but depending on data permissions upon download they may also have things like device fingerprints. Agreed on the service management though. Brilliant work.
