Disagree. I found the channel to be useful and educational. For example, I knew people could crack WiFi passwords but never actually understood how until I watched null byte videos. Now I can be more vigilant about protecting my WiFi. I rea

Goes way beyond that. Ton of advertising on here, Facebook groups are probably 95% ads, half or more of the Reddit subs are ads. People who do not work in the advertising industry sometimes have no idea when they are being sold to. These pe

Yep. I read behavioral studies by scientists so I can use this info to manipulate others. This is my job and I am good at it or I wouldn’t be doing it. There are hundreds of behavioral tricks to make people buy. Even when one is aware of th

I was just thinking about this. Also their deals “end” within x hours. The number of sites doing dark patterns is disturbing and the way marketing professionals openly brag about manipulating people is disgusting. People are so wrapped up a

Imagine this situation: you sell online courses. FB says hey, users can pay directly via Libra thus streamlining checkout to a few clicks. Now Facebook takes a cut of every transaction. If I were PayPal I’d be very scared.

I wonder how much collective human time search engines and google in particular has siphoned from us. Instead of getting straight to the point, now you have to read a bunch of “long form” content. Think about all that wasted time and multip

I’ve had positive and negative experiences on both side of the fence. There was one company where I had to commute 2 hours to and from which was absolute hell for me. At that place I worked out of a cubicle which I preferred to an open offi
