Also the CEO makes $400k if anyone just wanted that information. I had to listen to 60% of that dudes video to get to that point.

This doesn't seem insane to me. It's high for the average joe, but it's not competitive at all with other big tech CEO total comp.

I find this so weird. Like, I want the exact literal opposite of what you want - I want personalized ads about shit I might conceivably click on.

I want usable personalized internet that knows where I am and offers me local deals and hotspots.

The hell are you so afraid of? Honestly?

So you want to constantly be a slave to your consumerist impulses as you uncritically consume everything thrown at you,

Holy shit dude what happens to you when you see an ad??

TikTok says it’s not the algorithm, teens are just pro-Palestine — The company denied allegations that it has been promoting pro-Palestine content in an effort to sway American opinion (www.vice.com)

Here's how you actually "manipulate the algorithm."

1: take up residency in the comments, and at the same time start a few basic accts that don't say anything too controversial (day in the life kinda stuff, thirst traps, etc). Establish a basic presence

2: once you amass a following, you start with pretty basic stuff lots of young people agree with - housing/healthcare reform, work reform, etc

3: an important part a lot of people miss - have your own team troll your comments. Stir up shit. The goal is to get people riled up, not move the needle in any specific direction

4: throw out something big (it's been confirmed that Russia is behind distribution on TikTok of OBL's "Letter to America" recently). Fight on both sides, tagging in as much of the greater sphere of commenters as you can.

That's it. That's all anyone's doing. Just do this over and over and you eventually drive people crazy.

They did the exact same thing in 2016, they did it in 2020 with BLM, they did it with Ukraine. It's nothing new

The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore. (lemmy.ml)

EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn't work with anything. It's mildly infuriating because today, I can't still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday....

I don't really blame him

He bought a piece of convenience tech designed for a specific piece of software, when said convenience tech is totally unnecessary to the function of that software, then got mad that he needed the software

I am shocked that everyone in this thread isn't roasting this dude nonstop. He's an idiot.

Public transit is better, but self-driving taxis are absolutely coming to every city in this country, which is great if you live in a city like mine that has little to no public transport infrastructure.

Also, automated taxis can service more rural areas, which is the key driver of lack of public transport in many "commuter cities."

Luddites gonna Luddite, but this tech is coming, and it's coming to logistics and taxis first.

Yes the internet is indeed useful to have
