Hmm, it does babies and infants too. I was not expecting that. Other commentators mention that Ashley Madison, stock-photo companies, and other spammers will take this and run with it. Honestly, I suspect that has already happened for a while now and may explain the issues that FB and Twitter are having [0]. Though I can't find the thread, there was a discussion here on HN a while back about the 'Inversion' issue. Briefly, Youtube uses some ML and RNN stuff to help determine spammers vs. real-people (after pre-processing and cleaning things up a fair bit). However, if the number of spammers becomes too high, such that the spammers that DO make it through the various filters become over 51%, then the filters will 'Invert'. Meaning that the MLs and RNNs will start to classify the spammers as 'real' and the real-people will likely be told they are spammers. I can imagine that this site will quickly exacerbate that issue. Honestly, in reading Cal Newport's new book [1], I can't say I'm all that sad about it. The 'casino' like design of the modern web is obviously bad for us. In moderation, yes, but to the level we are at currently? Not a chance. Driving users away from these sites and devices isn't a bad thing for anyone that isn't earning a paycheck via the FAANGs. Hopefully this kind of tech will cause a bit of a restructuring of the modern web in the long haul. I doubt it, but one can hope.
