- TorKlingberg 11y agoI assume you are familiar with idlewords.com since before?

- EwanToo 11y agoIt's not, unless you already know the kind of content it carries. It's a terrible title...
- zeeZ 11y agoPersonally, the title just told me that it's probably one of those "you won't believe what happens next" YouTube videos. The URL told me that it's probably a talk (maybe about that category of videos?) using words that don't do anything. Skimming the first screen worth of text led me to the conclusion that it must be about privacy or hacking. And here I see comments about advertising?! Two or three words, one being "Talk", the other being whatever this is actually about, would have helped tremendously here.
