All the restaurant order/pay app developers have pivoted to making the flip-around kiosks that charge 20% and up for tipping now, so the QR code app game is dying off apparently. :\

If you post "locked out of my account on *" almost anywhere on social media, a bunch of bots flood you with advice on who to contact to be reinstated. From my perspective, lockouts seem to be an unchecked extortion ring run by soc

They've been around for a long time now, just another digital distributor that charges artists to upload music... They're also owned by a major industry entity, the same ones I'm posting about... Hardly a game changer. Major

If you, like me, have witnessed the shear idiocy and disinformative mess of comments and content on Reddit, TikTok, Instagram and other so-called data sets for Ai training that seek engagement and watch time, it's easy to see that trai

Big industry and Ai companies are flooding the Internet with low-grade music. This is their tactic to holding far better independent music out of view, because if indie music took over, there would be no going back to big industry music. Co

The updates seem to all be geared towards corrective updates rather than expansion of capabilities. We're still typing prompts rather than speaking them into a microphone. If it was truly Ai, why isn't it rapidly building itself?

There are so many sites that all follow the same template... To sell sponsorships & ads and to companies, and then slap the illusion that public participation is vibrant. The only good model for a social site these days are smaller comm
