Amazon's carousel of books related to the book being viewed is fairly decent at finding books in the same genre you might like in my experience. I have found and read a fair few from that method.

To prevent or at least cut down on spam? Pretty much the entire reason captcha systems were created in the first place and an entirely legitimate reason?

Same, I gave away nearly all my books, I kept less than 10 really as mementoes of specific memories I associate with those books. No regrets, I was never going to read any of those that I gave away and I do all my reading on ebook nowadays

I take a different view in the sense that reddit has benefitted from the unpaid work of mods for 15+ years. Mods have generally been either neutral or positive towards reddit as an entity in the past, now... I suspect a lot are asking thems

No major company can buy reddit because it's full of porn and a lot of the user base is there for the porn and will riot if it goes.

It's not that they can't counter it, it's that there's less and less to find...

It caused asset inflation for 10 years. Housing, the stock market, crypto. Supply of goods and services could mostly keep up with any increased demand so you didn't see inflation so obviously there.

I am no expert on Discord, I frankly have used it little. But my impression is, it's a replacement for subreddits? Not a replacement for reddit in the whole? Is there a single feed of everything that's popular within Discord? Like

Reddit existed and was frankly already winning the race with Digg before the Digg redesign, the "Digg moment" was just the cherry on top really. There's no obvious alternative to reddit.

There's maybe a handful of sites that people explicitly append to their google search results in order to cut out the SEO spam, reddit is probably the one that covers the most subjects. So I think they are thinking that and I don'

No, they didn't? How stuff is moderated is more or less down to the top mod of the subreddit.

Nah, it has a lot to do with AI. Give it another 12 months when the rest of the web has been gunked up with AI written crap and reddit will be one of the few reliable sources of useful opinion out there. Hell, it is right now given how freq

I don't think op did say "inflation is the result of government spending" he said it was the result of excessive monetary stimulus. In other words the action of the federal reserve.

I can't say whether that's actually happening or not, all I can say is it's a reasonable explanation as to why profits would be going up for many companies.

If a company has for sake of argument a 10% profit margin on an item and seeks to maintain that 10% profit margin after an increase in its input costs then is that unreasonable? In dollar terms its profits have gone up but as a percentage t

This is very obviously what's going on. The web is in the process of rapidly filling up with AI regurgitated garbage, eventually there's going to be a handful of sites with real usable content on them left, reddit being one of the

I don't think the europeans of the 1500's had any clue tobacco was in any way dangerous to peoples health, in fact I'm pretty sure they thought it was a medicinal plant.

2 billion for Facebook isn't particularly a lot of money, I doubt their shareholders would care very much so long as FB continued to be a money printing machine. The problem was tiktok. FB missed the short form video social media mediu
