I second this. The only reason click bait trash thumbnails work is people accepting it.
Marketers do not just passively give users what they already want. They also manipulate what users want. This isn't some conspiracy theory, the marketing discipline is quite open about this. When something is in the interest of the company making more profit, they convince users that it is in their own interest. This is just capitalism being capitalism. Not being able to easily replace your battery is as clear an example of such a thing as you could ask for.
Yeah I'm sure phone companies communicate engineering truth to us, and not what their marketing departments find most in their interest.
Visiting Iceland I was just introduced to licorice and chocolate (mostly in the form of chocolate covered licorice candy bars). In some parts of the world, like the US, I think this is an unfamiliar combination, but it's pretty good.
Are the grasses people tend to grow in their yards in Northern / Western Europe native? I'm from the North Eastern US and I seem to remember hearing that our lawn grasses aren't native but rather Asian in origin.
As someone with tinnitus, I was going to say that those of us with it definitely cannot hear silence. The sound I hear when it's silent is definitely not the sound of silence because it is a sound I also hear when it is quiet but not silent. Some can hear it when it's not even quiet.
I didn't get bot vibes, but I also thought it took too long to get to the point. It did an awful lot of stepwise walking to how we determine which theory fits the patterns--I assume to handhold lay readers. I'm pretty lay but I found it tedious. But of course there is always someone who needs more hanging than you do.
A search engine that used Bayesian filtering could work, with users providing feedback on results. This approach works well for a spam filter (and gamed search results is essentially a form of spam), and as spammers change tactics to try to game it, the bayesian algorithm adapts.
