@binkle @Aether @YeetLibs It's partially that and also if you do more search results Google gets more advertising revenue and search growth makes the shareholders happy and makes line go up; it's like the greedy stereotype you'd find in something made for 5 year olds but it's done by an MBA that used to work for McKinsey (business model: Uber for evil people)

@gray @kirby because everyone else has it and nearly the entire world economy is hinged on this one extremely narrow aspect of things that even the most profitable company (Apple has a higher profit margin than even Nvidia) needs to shove it down everyone's throats so some 54 year-old working for Morgan Stanley in midtown Manhattan decides to invest more in Apple therefore making the line go up even harder (I say this as markets are having their worst week since the last time Donald Trump did something dumb)

TL;DR short term gains and marketability

@bajax not that far off apparently some crypto criminal (I repeat myself) was looking up wire fraud and how to launder money after committing wire fraud

True geniuses these people are

@bajax the title is clickbait https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgXeeOCQVYs

@bajax Yes and history is just repeating itself now I was watching a video grumb suggested to me of undisclosed short form native advertising which is illegal but who is ever going to get in trouble anymore
Everything is short form gambling ads

@benis_redux you're not wrong but that's not what I had in mind (tbh they're all the same)

Short form video content should not exist it takes the “hot take” culture popularised by that website and making it even worse

People getting paid to post on any platform was a mistake

@cassidyclown @KaiserKitty @ruina the ICC might downgrade your charge to a simple crimes against humanity charge so instead of executing you, you get spend the rest of your life in the Hague

@cassidyclown @KaiserKitty @ruina a little genocide never hurt anyone except all of the people you systemically remove

@cassidyclown @KaiserKitty @ruina that's what Pol Pot said

@cassidyclown @KaiserKitty @ruina make the killing fields look like a lovely park in comparison

@icst I am not conspiratorially minded enough to think that the US government is competent enough to actually be able to spy on individuals I know that Meta does (to sell to data brokers and advertisers) though

@icst the funny thing is I googled his name and found articles both right and left about members of Congress wanting him to get impeached for completely different reasons
lol lmao

@mischievoustomato why would you, it's garbage

@PunishedD @kirby somehow it made almost a billion dollars which will only make the extremely risk averse studios only make more slop
