Honestly the entire notion of caring about “ratings” at all is stupid unless you are trying to sell ads. Reviews are great and reviewing art is an art form of it’s own. But taking a bunch of reviews and smoothing them together and averaging them out in order to pretend you’ve reached some sort of objective truth about how “good” a piece of media is is a stupid thing to care about and will only bring you sorrow and a more shallow life.

This was my favorite fun fact to point out during the NFT hype. Even skeptics would derisively say “you’re buying a jpeg” and I would always say “Ackhually, not even that!”

Any “platform” that puts 100% of the responsibility to block spam and annoying users onto the individuals is simply miserable. They want a space where they can force their worldview onto everyone.

Yeah but that’s search engines, not a browser… its also optional

“AI has changed how we browse. Full stop.”

Huh? In what way?

I love Low Tech magazine! I have been reading them for years.

It has to end eventually… right?

AI still could be interesting, I don’t personally consider a text generator to be an intelligence but maybe the corporations are!

Ok this one HAS to be satire you are nailing it

Sorry didn’t realize you were a true believer™ let’s try to remember we have the same goals even though it’s for different reasons!

Yep haha exactly like that, excellent satire, you absolutely nailed the tone of someone trying to distract from actual effective policy changes using conspiratorial language.

I always laugh when people talk about the CIA as if it is a single person, and they try to establish a sense of character by mentioning things it did in the 50s, as if any of the people involved back the. were still involved today.
