What’s the worlds oldest democracy?

Huh… I’m never off YouTube but never heard of or seen ads for Pie. I wonder when they will start showing up.

I still see a lot of Better Help ads and that sucks. I’ve gotten to the point where if it’s a YouTube Ad or sponsor, I ain’t buying it ever.

No problem at all. I really appreciate you apologising, a lot of people wouldn’t do that and just carry on with their day. I’m happy you took the time.

We all do things we wouldn’t otherwise, and we should all do better by owning up.

Oh I can absolutely see that. I guess my issue is that the whole review ecosystem is flawed I guess.

As you (or someone else) said it’s a no win for TrustPilot. Either they stop review bombs or they allow them and people will be mad either way.

I don’t think they would know about the issue until the news broke. The average user would assume it is doing what it said, and the content creators were non the wiser either.

Erm… not at all. Feel free to peruse my comment history if you want.

I didn’t mean anything by it and I was merely thinking out loud. I added the smiley to show I was friendly and meant no offence.

I realise now that the smiley could be confused for smugness, but honestly was just a thought I typed out.

You have a great weekend and I will try and be better.

Wouldn’t you expect a large influx of negative reviews when news breaks of this story?

As I said I don’t trust Trust Pilot, but this really doesn’t help their cause.

like you’re 10

Then uses embedded and referral. Not sure I know many ten year olds that would get those meanings. 😊

I don’t trust reviews at all at this point, from any service like those mentioned.

I will say that it’s diabolical that trust pilot closed the reviews. Meaning people can’t express there disappointment with the app, and that people might still trust it.

Or thought they were Thor.

I saw a video (no gore) about a dude flying an RC Helicopter and ended up decapitated in front of family. Horrific.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

This all makes sense, but I do wonder if we should have a limit on the company size and shares. As you say massive corporations don’t need to raise money this way and it just extracts value from other areas. So I would be nice to see a system where shares are all bought back and cease trading once a company grows so large.

You might be able to answer this for me as I don’t really understand.

What is the value of shareholders for massive corporations? Is it that they fund retirements of future generations?

Surely there has got to be a better way. The way I see companies structured with shareholders seems to inevitably make the product or service worse due to demand for increase growth and return for shareholders and it really frustrates me.

I agree with all points. I just wonder how much the robots get paid.

These weirdos have Linux as their entire identity and it’s become all consuming for some of them.

I just block anyone who is shilling Linux too much as it gets boring quickly, and I use Linux myself as of recently but it isn’t all that amazing and it requires a good amount of configuration, contrary to what people on here will tell you.

I don’t know. Insane implies they’re not responsible for their actions because they don’t know any better.

That isn’t the case these grifters are fully aware of what they’re doing and they don’t care.

Not insane, just dishonest assholes.

Odd take.

I for one love AlphaPhoenix and I prefer longer form videos. I don’t want the look what I did, but I want the this is how I did it.

Piss off to TikTok if you just want to be mindlessly fed short form trash.

Seems the driver was an anti-Islam right wing nut job. Do you think we need to de radicalise the right? Twitter?

Oh I’m not against the practice you need to remove people that are not going to be impartial.

I just find jurisprudence interesting in general so thought I would mention it.
