Oops I misunderstood the direction. (I think it was if the employee deems they misbehaved. (I assumed “It” was the employee, not SpaceX. More obvious in hindsight I guess, my bad.)

That’s kind of the point I was making. (She was the one who didn’t get away with it)

I mean… isn’t that also a legal thing?

If you know insider information that’s not public (A company misbehaved being one of them) you are not supposed to trade stock to financially gain from it.

Now that’s what you’re supposed to do… Politicians have proven that’s rules just for peasants, and most stock traders heavily benefit from this type of information, and unless your Martha Stewart for some reason, you get away with it… But my point is legally, if you know they misbehaved, that’s immediately insider information?

Edit: I misunderstood the headling/rule. Sorry. Quite a shit thing that granted stock can be revoked, especially after you pay taxes. I wonder how legal it is, because if they can revoke it, is it actually yours and thus do you have to pay taxes on it?

I mean ultimately the biggest problem isn’t even voting or anything. It’s that Youtube doesn’t care about giving you “quality” it cares about keeping you on the platform so it can keep feeding you ads. At the end of the day, as long as you keep watching Youtube is happy.

This is similar to the reason I stopped reading Quora posts because they’re some of the most awful pieces of freelance writing that has nothing to do with “information transferring” and everything to do with “keeping you reading”. Feels like such a weird site.

But ultimately the trick is you have to break the cycle of watching or staying on Youtube when you get bad content… at that point then Youtube has to change so you keep coming back to watch quality recommendations instead of just “what’s popular”

Personally I mostly only will click on people I’m already subscribed to, because so much is just about “Watch time”, and like I said above, I only really value “information transfer”.

Do you own a PC?

Do you think you’re a gamer?

If the answer is No, and Yes. Then that’s interesting otherwise, it’s nothing new.

I had a Ps4, and A Xbox One. Now I game on PC. Honestly I’m sick of modern games so I mostly retro game, but a PC is a gaming “console” in that respect.

Heard this two generations straight already.

Maybe PCs. IF Microsoft brings out a cheap and form factor PC instead of a Xbox whatever they call it. And that’d be a good thing. Besides, a Xbox Series X and a PC is about the same thing except less configuration on the console, and that’s fine… Microsoft still makes games, they just bring it to PC as well as their console. We should applaud that.

But no, Consoles and PCs will be in gaming as long as people buy millions of them, and the good news is they don’t buy millions, they buy HUNDREDS of millions.

And Gen Z continue to buy them too. Because GenZ is 22-38. I hate the phrase but I feel like “OK Boomer” is actually appropriate here.

It’s the same as fiver generated scripts, and the same as every other technology. We learn how to deal with it… or maybe we stop watching so much youtube, or look for authentic channels…

Honestly Youtube in general becomes a sesspool of fads… until those fads wear off.

Yeah but when am I going to be able to watch AI-Generated Videos on Pornhub. (That I get to choose the content of).

Honestly I’m so over hearing about AI. It’s either “Look at this average thing that AI has done (after giving X amount of attempts we won’t tell you about).” or “Look at this average thing that AI has done (after giving X amount of attempts we won’t tell you about) Isn’t it scary?”

OH AI is wrong? Oh AI is doing something better than humans? Oh people might use AI versus doing nothing? Oh AI might replace cheap labor (fiver jobs)… AI will kill you, AI will heal you, AI has transcended humanity… AI has doomed us all.

It’s all fucking clickbait at this point and I’m just already so fucking tired of hearing about it because none of it has value.

But umm… that Pornhub video thing… let me know when that comes out.

They work about 75 to 90 percent of the time… You don’t really want to hear stories about that either.

Both sides of LLM stories are just clickbait.

Not even seven percent. Lol. Seven thousand which is probably like .0001 percent.

Active users would, I probably would too. Problem is most apps would struggle to even get new users with that system.

My wife and I just share our account which has worked perfect though I’m really the one who cooks so the recipe list becomes mine as well.

This is the result of shareholders. Capitalism doesn’t have to turn into this and people can have small businesses that are comfortable and don’t grow. But when you get investment involve the question is always “how do you ‘grow this business’ so I can get a ROI”.

There’s a few cases where that’s not the case, but the majority of the mindset of the modern business world is fast returns, rather than sustainable growth.

It does have a “Community” aspect, but honestly I think it’s quite weak on that. however if you have someone you know and their recipes are public you can see them, but not in any organized sense.

What else do you think they should spend their money on?

Serious question, they’re a social media site, their whole goal is to sell ads to consumers, which is all R&D cost and server cost. User acquisition at this point is minimal, Sales is basically “We have a lot of users, want to talk to them.” The goal is to create ways that sales can sell to consumers to make money.

Doesn’t help the consumer base is actively hostile to advertisements.

If you really haven’t… you need to. Better yet read the book. It should be required reading in America to see how the financial institutions fucked over America in 2008 and most of them got away with it or got the government to pay for it’s mismanagement, while a LOT of people got saddled with absolutely awful loans because all that mattered was creating and selling new debt.

“Forbes” is not the Forbes you are referring to. It’s a blogging platform that shows the forbes name and claims they’re “Contributors” but isn’t actually “Forbes Magazine” which is what investors actually trust.

Basically this is just some shitbag pretending to be classy by hiding behind someone who sold him that space. There’s a ton of shit Video Game “Articles” on the site too, same story(masquerade), same value (low) , same respectability (none)

Apps can pay in a ridiculous deal that no app would be able to support. So you either be a pay app that no one downloads, or a free app that gets killed the second it gets too big (And that number was low)

I don’t know the right price point, but 1 dollar a month probably would have worked for most people. It just wasn’t enough because they probably can make more than 1 by spoon feeding you ads now.

The goal of Apollo was to make a good app. The goal of the official reddit app is to show you ads and siphon money off you.

Spot fucking on.

Ever have a good app? Something you like using but it’s by a corporation but that’s ok, because it’s a good app and does what you want? And then they start adding more features to it, and it slows down, and it’s more annoying and it keeps offering services you don’t want, and it changes and it morphs and it becomes a shit app.

Hell I’ve watched Whisk become something I liked using to something worthless now it’s Samsung food… Switched to using CopyMeThat which actually also gets me recipes from sites that you can’t just read the recipes from, and that’s ALL it does (well recipe book/shopping cart/meal planning, which is what it’s designed for.)

I’m just sick of “How do we make more money” instead of just being an app that does what it says. Gaming is going down the same hole, sadly.
