I have no direct knowledge, but Google is known to penalize duplicate pages. Without the lead in, one bread recipe is pretty much the same page as 1,000 others.

Dodo is a recent extinction, so probably easier to do (like mammoth and tiger) and reasonably well know. It makes sense. Criticizing is easy: what would you pick that is better?

I got locked out of an account and it would not allow me to recover the account, even though it had a recovery email on file. They didn't think that was enough to prove I owned the account. What's the purpose of a recovery account

Because Facebook is simple. Any one can update it, and it doesn't go down, and it doesn't cost anything. I've many times seen web presences fail for small organizations, when the only person that understands the web set up le

Apple does not get it. When they put a trackpad on their wireless keyboards, then I'll believe they get it. Can't put a wireless keyboard AND a trackpad on your lap, so literally every Apple wireless keyboard ever is useless to me

I'd go so far as to say the majority of the people who consume it, do it to excess. How many hours a week are you on social media, and how does that compare with the benefits you get?

Yeah, Reddit is one of those social media sites I've stopped using. A great choice in my part. Not gonna click through to see if he understands he's still posting on a social media site.

Many good answers already. I'd add "maybe it's a bit like cars, which also now all look alike". Cars look alike because they all share functional requirements. Websites need to collect and convert users, somehow. You ca

It's regional. Most of the country does _not_ call pizza a pie.

$90 is not much for all that. As an employee, that's pretty good, but as someone who probably had to invest thousands of hours before he knew if he'd see any revenue, that's a pretty meager return! It would be interesting to
