Google rewrites many page titles

Should I ask Walmart to kindly start relabeling products on their shelves because what’s on the tin is rarely as good for me as what the maker purports?

Maybe that’s what we need. An FDA metadata label for every website served, kinda like the fav-icon, but useful.

- Readable word count (protein)

- Ad count (fats)

- Image count (carbs)

- Embedded script size (the list of nasty sounding chemicals it contains)

- Average data transmitted (sugars)

- etc

Must be shown in black text on white background with a black border. Sorry dark mode guys.

This might actually be the killer app for AR. Reviews of products as you look at them on the shelf.

Rather than showing the actual reviews, just lower the color saturation for lower reviewed products. So high reviewed products would pop in a sea of gray scaled items.

Sounds like something out of Black Mirror, but could be interesting.

I can’t wait for “This product is awesome 5/5 btw I don’t own it” and “My favorite 1/5” in AR

Vivino kinda does that but for wine only. You can scan any bottle with it and it shows you its rating based on user reviews.

Sounds like it might either decrease sales, or increase the manufacturing of fraudulent or shill reviews.
