Right, but my point is that from YouTube's perspective it doesn't "matter" if you like or dislike the video, if they can get you to click. And clearly this strategy works on some people, or they wouldn't be doing

I think the justification is that some people will think the website is legitimate if a legit hostname appears anywhere in the URL e.g. http://scamsite.com/microsoft.com/phish "looks" legit because it contain

One difference is (at least with alternate app stores on Android, and I assume it'd hypothetically be the case on iOS), regardless of where you install a mobile app from, it appears on your app drawer/home screen. You don't h

If a big company (e.g. Facebook) integrated their app store within their main app, there's automatically a massive userbase available - it could potentially even slightly streamline the install process for apps advertised via Facebook.

Not sure how you get that conclusion from my comment, of course people make mistakes - my suggestion is one way to prevent such a mistake? i.e. if you have MFA enabled, it "doesn't matter" as much if you do make a mistake a

At any non-shady dealership, you should presumably have to give some sort of evidence that you own the car in question (registration documents etc. and ID matching the name on the registration). For many online accounts, you probably don&#x

Or you can just enable MFA yourself, and prevent that from happening? Am I missing something?

I don't think that is a fair assessment, there is also free news that is openly ad-supported i.e. there are ads surrounding the news on the page, but the content itself is not advertising anything

Exactly, and if you can continue to play all your old games on your new system, you're probably less inclined to buy a lot of new games - probably buy one or two (otherwise why bother getting a new system?), but if you couldn't pl

Yeah, I got that, my point is more that it takes away a potential recurring revenue stream for the sake of maybe a slight boost in software sales right now (I doubt there are a massive number of people who would suddenly purchase a whole bu

This is true, but not overly relevant in this context - the reason lack of commission was mentioned was because someone said that fees will eat away at a day trader's profits before a down market will affect them; with Robinhood or oth

Probably more to do with morality than lethality. Pretty subjective, but there are definitely plenty of people who are morally opposed to piracy but have no problem with illegal backups/rips/dumps of stuff they have legally purcha

They are listed for those prices, but those listings have been around for a while; the $650 one has been listed for at least 2 months, the $800 one for at least 8 months, and neither is sold. It would be more informative to find listings wh

I'm not sure I totally buy this argument - the logic being that teenagers are only employed because employers can get away with paying them less due to lack of tax. But there are already lower minimum wages for these ages, so it'd

I think the point is you can easily get so focused on making the experience "delightful" that you work on things that would delight you , but that your users actually don't care about so much. And you need to take a step bac
