Why keep the 3 staff? They're not going to be working diligently to do all the human tasks while freshly aware of how little they're valued at this point. They're going to look for a better place to work.
That's expensive enough software they'd have to be damn careful about false positives that mess with actual productivity because it happened to include a lot of skintones. Seems like they'd either need an appeal process with a quick response time or deal with pissing off legitimate users with the occasional hiccup.
or that it'll work well if it's actually released.
I've seen a few different posts about this, and none of them have had commenters showing any hope of it working out well. Seems pretty universal that folks think it'll lead to a worsening of their current bot problems.
You don't get to be a billionaire with just hard work and fulfilled promises.
Not doing this last year (or sooner) was the biggest missed opportunity of the Bucs/Brady relationship.
I was very aware that the quality of reddit was lower than when I joined in like 2010
It was an ongoing meme that "reddit was better a few years ago and kinda sucks now" but I really think it was accurately the case. Everyone remembers it being at its best when they first signed up because it had been on a slow, consistent downward slide from around 2010 on.
The last couple of years were so bad that I was already going to other sites for actual news and whatnot because anything outside of small, niche subs were overrun with bots (or trolls, since they were functionally the same).
The version I heard was "everything in moderation, including moderation."
But the Butthole Surfers said, "It's better to regret something you did than something you didn't do"
Seems like that'd fly.
From the link in that comment:
You can link to websites pages related to piracy. Linking to websites linking to your content (not with a 301 redirect, before you ask) is OK. In general try to keep one degree of separation between our collective groins and your links.
Have to say it's the right call. It's common enough that software (jdownloader2 comes to mind) will do the conversion automatically. it'd be super trivial for a bot crawling for DMCA links to add that functionality at some point.
Yes, the article is about a specific instance of it happening.
I think this might be a case where the generic "scams generally work best if done low effort" doesn't apply, since to be successful, this sort of scam requires some specifics. The not-kidnapped daughter was away training for a ski race. Blasting "we kidnapped your daughter" to people whose daughter is sitting on the couch next to them or people without daughters doesn't work at all.
The article mentions people lose an average of $11k in these scams, which means they're probably working best when targeting people with some savings.
