Most of the stuff you see while scrolling through Amazon's streaming service is actually just stuff you can buy but not stream. If it's not one of their own big exclusives, the service is almost unusable

Most movies aren't worth owning

Using 12 AM or 12 PM is useless. Midnight is both and noon is neither.

The saying "hindsight is 20/20" is stupid. 20/20 is average. As someone with better than 20/20, my hindsight would be worse than normal.

Why don't they just fix their game instead?

This was about bluesky/Twitter type social media. Things with reshare and follows to specific users, where someone you follow arguing with someone you don't will expose you to the person you don't follow.

Some of them are, which is even more confusing.

I have zero interest in that either. Those specific characters were the whole appeal to that show.

There's talk of a reboot, and that's not what anyone wanted at all....

Those still aren't bots. Bot farms are literally a bunch of servers running computer programs. That's not the same thing as some online sweatshop pushing disinformation manually.

It decreases the spread. Cutting form the engagement means free people who aren't already subscribed to that content will see it, since there's fewer people arguing with it. Which means those who are susceptible to falling for it have less chance to even encounter it, meaning fewer fall into it.

Even if the incentive to create the trolls has changed, the counter to letting it spread hasn't.
