Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

  • And oregon, and Virgina, and several others the article does not explicitly name...

  • ... Run that one by me again? What??

  • They upload the following meme to everyone's printer and call it a day:

  • This seems like it's not going to be a productive conversation if you're going to accuse me of using a strawman argument.

    All word of mouth advertising is advertising. You're advertising that you like something to your friends. That it's viewed as "not advertising" by so many is the reason it's so valuable, and why so much effort is being expended to manufacture and subvert it, since it's one of the last forms left people aren't super conscious of. "Telling other people about the thing" is the oldest and most basic form of advertising, but it's still advertising, and people have worked to exploit it since the earliest records we have. Hell, even Ea Nasir advertised via word-of-mouth.

  • In this case there's no evidence showing that it's being spread widely - the bug reports are entirely about users being shown their own content. If you have something to dispute that I'm all ears.

  • Relevant XKCD:

    The value of word of mouth advertising is the reason we have to deal with the hell that is astroturfing ad campaigns.

  • Are there really herpetologists saying "don't say snek"?

  • NSFW

  • Yeah it's the new LemmyNSFW (or aims to be) and same, the 18+ is impassible here too.

  • Yeah, exactly!

  • So how do people get on the internet or in the store? Heck, how do you know that the store exists in the first place (and if the store doesn't have what you need, what do you do?)

    I'm just after a middle ground - the current insanity of advertising is obviously too much, but the idea of doing away with it entirely isn't feasible either. Burning all the advertising execs at the stake might be a good place to start in terms of reforming things...

  • Thank you! The unending intrusiveness of modern advertising really has killed and buried the useful parts of advertising by becoming the norm, I wholeheartedly agree.

  • Okay, to break down the point: search for them where?

  • How would you know what to search for? Some advertising is fine - a sign for a restaurant or industry mailers or magazines, "related products", etc etc are all very tame forms of advertising. The problem is hyperintrusive advertising which has now spiraled so far into hell that it drives a model of data harvesting and content slop that's slowly tainting all access to information we have.

  • For clarity, it's only being summarized for the users that wrote it, it's not leaking them to everyone. A comedically inept bug to allow though, holy shit.

  • "Touch some grass", if anyone else is unfamiliar with the tla. Rather rude, since that is not even slightly clear in the original meme and I appreciated the extra information...

  • Never interrupt your enemy while they're setting up their petard hoist...

  • It's not justice, though. Points for getting him on that, lord knows the US isn't prosecuting for it either, but potentially being done for financial crime instead of the mountains of evidence showing him to be an international rapist pedophile monster is a joke.

    For what it's worth, Capone was only stopped by syphilis - he ran the mob just fine from prison until it got so bad he couldn't. Which I admit is a solution I wholeheartedly endorse in this instance, too.

    Edit: nope nvm he's been released.
