IDK, probably some behavioral psychology thing where it makes you think about them every time you need to go shopping without realising it.

It didn’t generate revenue

It’s amazing that group VoIP is still as janky as it was 20 years ago…

Well it’s also that they’re highly aggressive animals that will attack (and kill) pretty much anything that gets just a little too close for their comfort, despite looking cute and cuddly.

Hippos are also deceptively docile looking creatures

They’re not wrong though, this is a meme sub and this post is not actually a meme so it doesn’t really belong. I disagree with your statement that the commenter wants it gone because they don’t personally like it, they want gone because it is objectively is not a meme and shouldn’t be posted here.

Intentional violation of community rules should trigger warnings/bans/etc. in a well moderated community.

Nothing in the other persons comment suggests that type of moderation though

kinda lit

No it was unplugged

Moderation is not bad in itself, it is curating of content to keep topics on track and quality above a certain limit. It has absolutely nothing to do with billionaires or their desires. A lot of subs on different instances are really shitty because of lacking moderation. Leaving subs completely unmoderated is a recipe for a disaster shitpile.

The good old forum days also had a lot of moderation to keep them from turning to shit.

AI is an umbrella term that covers many things we’ve already had for a long time, including things like machine learning. This is not a new definition of AI, it’s always been this definition.

If you can live without port forwarding, mullvad is another great option.

It’s not just inconvenient, it literally makes large parts of the internet inaccessible, even important and useful parts that are not just memes and SoMe.

Selling user profiling data is also worth money, even if you’re not shown ads because of ad-blockers you bring value to the dataset by increasing it’s size with useful demographic data.

if you have a pixel theres absolutely no reason why you shouldnt use it.

Plenty reasons to not use it on a pixel…I had horrible compatibility with all sorts of banking apps, government 2FA and traffic warning systems, to the point where they just couldn’t work at all. Their sandboxed play services breaks a shitload of day to day convenience and even necessities to increase privacy.
