Telegram started that way but as they became so big, the process of Enshittification has now begin. It happens to all tech platforms that become too big.
Here is how platforms die: First, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die.
It’s difficult but worth the time if you have it. No other language creates programs with such guarantees for not having common memory bugs and performance like c.
There is a lot of money spent on making the media portray people as dangerous or crazy when they are protesting. And the media shapes the idiots opinions.
France is a role model in protesting for the entire world. Of course the American media often ridicules France. I wonder why.
Nah they want you to be shocked and start watching. Called engagement, makes money by upsetting peoples emotional state so they become nervous, unhappy, angry etc.
Ratings are not just about an app functioning, it’s about if it’s any good or not. And by showing only reviews of a certain type, users might not see a lot of the complaints if they are from people on different hardware.
Seems like a way to limit effects of discontent in my opinion.
Let’s say you have a Samsung s20 or whatever. Millions of people will have that. So if you are not complaining from that type of device AND from the same region, your reviews may not be seen at all.
This is how you make sure that bad reviews don’t impact applications like reddit so much.
Americans are generally quite stupid. Imagine asking private big tech to moderate what you can see online. :)
But it’s the same in every country. The large masses are clueless. If you ask Europeans, you would get the same response even though it’s Americans moderating it, which is even worse.
You know Microsoft is planning to put the next windows online and let people just access it? Same pattern here, people trusting big tech with their own privacy and integrity. So weird.
I haven’t heard the term “corporate sterialized inclusivity” before… But yes, the main issue with the show is maybe that.
It’s ok to get blow back, I don’t mind. But the feedback was stupid at first. Basically “you are racist because you don’t like the new star trek, it’s inclusive, don’t you get it?”.
There is good storytelling and there is shit storytelling and this show could as well take place on earth, as an episode of Charmed.
