lol you should see how bad it is nowadays. Like 90% of my traffic is from SE Asia or germany trying to scrape my site. I blocked like a dozen countries because of it. Singapore itself is an insane amount of traffic for me.

I've found more and more often the last few years that a lot of the long time businesses I use still do most of their ordering by phone. Or some version that involves talking to actual person. The restaurants I go to still generally do

I've been doing some version of this since college. ...holy shit that's almost 20 years. It started as a bit of a joke on the "That's a good band name" line. It became "That's a good domain name". Yes

As far as I can tell, bluesky is pretty much on the way out. Nobody really uses it like they did twitter. it doesn't have the same vibe. it just feels forced. the science community might save it as a kind of summarizing service. i thin

Another comment mentioned Redacted.sh as a successor. I haven't used it. I'm sure there's a subreddit around that can help. Looks like orpheus is another option if I'm reading correctly. You have to get an invite or pass

yeah it's wild to me how folks will defend the current status quo when it's clearly broken. people defend convenience way too much. spotify isn't good for us and spotify-like-streaming is destroying the music industry.

be aware that payout rates change based on tiers and a bunch of other factors. So, it would likely take more than 40 million streams to earn $80k. I believe Weird Al posted his streaming revenue a few years ago. He had something like 80 mil

99% of that 10 billion went to a handful of artists. Actually, I'd wager nearly half of it went to labels and other middlemen, but that's beside the point. The vast majority of money in the music industry never trickles down, ever

Not true at all. I support small artists and it's the only way they make money. Ticket sales and merch make up the vast majority of artist revenue for artists who arent in the top 1%. Most musicians don't make money if they aren&#

this argument is so tired. most artists dont really care about streaming or selling their music. most of their real money comes from touring, merch, and people somehow interacting with them. most musicians just want to make music, express t

think popcorn time for mp3s/flac instead of mp4. a client can selectively list and then stream individual files from a huge torrent. if you've ever watched illegal movies/shows on those random domain websites, you're lik

lol thanks for saying this. "Travel" and "dogs" make up a crazy amount of dating profiles. Like 60% maybe? It's nuts. It's really weird. then you look at most of their profiles and it's the same handful of

This is normal in the meat industry. It sucks it happens to test subjects, or any living creature, but this is nothing compared to the daily cruelty inflicted upon innocent animals that we deem "food".

you can do all this with one extension and no scripts: Enhancer for Youtube. Also recommend DeArrow and SponsorBlock. But also flip content creators a $5 every once in a while. That's more revenue than they'll ever get from you wa

There's an old adage that if you follow the tech that porn adopts, you'll generally be ahead the average consumer curve. I think there's another version that if porn adopts a tech that means that the tech will work. Like, a l
