Most people who are on TikTok, are most likely using Instagram in one capacity or other. Some people who are on Instagram, think TikTok is "cringe and for little funny dances". Younger people on TikTok seem to be setting the trend

Without reliable numbers, I can’t take this post seriously. As much as I am on “TikTok’s recommendations are better” camp, my direct surroundings only share things with me on Reels. Obviously it’s very age and location related observation,

You call it garbage content, but every other person is somehow watching them. I’m probably not their target audience, but looking at my friend circles, those shows are definitely being consumed.

Looking at my nephews, it’s highly unlikely to happen. From what they’ve told me, if you’re not online and at least aware of the “latest trends”, you become an outcast in school. Their way of trying to be less cringe and protesting is just

15 years ago, we would somewhat choose whom to be “always online with”. It was more of a selected in-group of people, having similar interests and ideas. Right now, it just feels like “everyone screaming into the void” as “every app is for

Well, that would mean we’re just rolling back to 2000s era? I did finish a pretty decent university to be fair, but had options right after grad even in mid-sized companies. So did my peers.

Relatively young industry, the population pyramid of workers would have more people at the bottom. So gaining only 700 jobs isn’t that fun. That being said, I feel bad for newgrads, since it feels like nobody wants to train them anymore. An

People also misremember things with no intent, yet they are still considered as lies. I understand AI is not a human, but classifying a hallucination a lie seems reasonable to me.

In addition to all the comments, it’s way easier to see what “army life” looks like nowadays from videos. Sprinkle some real footage from recent wars, to see the worst case scenarios, I’m not sure how I can ever be convinced to be a part of

You, because you released the song and took the royalties? I don’t think every type of art can be compared against each other though, as there have been numerous precedents specifically for music, some for paintings, and some for photograph

In my opinion, it is very healthy for tech companies to chase different gold rushes. Would look stupid if all of them chased the same flavour of the year like blockchain, crypto, self-driving cars, AI and so on. I’d rather see them dissect

I’m not sure how prevalent it is, but two of my nephews asked me to get them VR headsets for Christmas. Although my siblings didn’t allow those requests to go through because of their ages, it sounds like their peers are getting into it. Cu

That entire report was very weird as they compared some uploaded videos with specific hashtags on TikTok vs Instagram. I just don’t understand how that methodology can fly when TikTok is banned in some places, while IG is banned in differen

I’m actually curious, how did Google do that? The guy who did it did it in a very obvious way, but I’m assuming you can just schedule a lot of posts that would drop once a day, make the AI to use different language structures and change the

You can get a very cheap chromebook for all that if there’s a need. I own my laptop, but have had friends who went through layoffs and just grabbed a cheap one to find a new job. It doesn’t make sense to own a laptop unless you will regular

Fair, I totally get what your point. But that’s an argument for getting rid of “for the memes” media, which incites unjustified hatred towards other people. I’ve known people who got into those rabbit holes as well. However, my argument was

If the choice is solely between a shitty doctor and faith healer (picking none isn’t an option as people have to get from A to B somehow), then you would choose shitty doctor though, no? In the states, I just don’t see any other alternative

The way I’m reading the PR right now — Cruise damaged the public’s perception of self-driving cars by cover up. Now the ball is on Waymo’s court to over-prove that they’re safe and transparent. Unfortunately this is one of the problems wher

Eh, counter-argument to that is — it is sometimes really fun to discuss absolutely outrageous and stupid conspiracy theories. It’s a fun thing to laugh at, I would say even that gives a common ground to a group.

The problem I notice is even though we might create niche interest groups online, they're hard to translate into real life. Makes it hard to connect with others when you meet them for drinks, find a movie to watch or some other sort of

Pizza rat was still fairly niche. From my personal memories, the "global unified virality" peaked with Ice Bucket Challenge, Gangnam Style and maybe Harlem Shake. I have a feeling as recommendation algorithms became more prominent

A very back of the napkin math - so far, 2023's domestic box office total is 75% of 2019th (pre-covid). Although the number of releases in 2023 is 60% of 2019th number of releases as well. I definitely wouldn't say nobody is going

But as the time goes, renters would just turn into home owners, who also wouldn’t vote against their self-interest, no? You would have relatively the same percentage of people who rent, unless something dramatic happens population-pyramid w
