Got a despairing sigh from my wife who is now regretting some of her life choices. Well one of them at least.

Good work!

OP should just brush that hype off.

Ugh. Well played!

I did think about donating it to the British Museum to preserve it for all of humanity to enjoy. But then I didn't do that and ate it. I'd say it was definitely an above average flavour punch.

Never put off to tomorrow today what you can put off to next week tomorrow.

Still karma whoring then!

Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they're incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they'll just get a different CEOing job (with "increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume") rinse and repeat.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.

Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.

Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

And now we're all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes... oh, wait, sorry, we're talking about the internet, not real life!

I think this is the first example of blatant karma farming I've seen on lemmy. It was inevitable.
