I wonder why did Google derank it. Did it correctly identify it as LLM written and sink it because of that?

I think the answer is obvious - after spending years watching pixelated pornography, their fantasy fueled expectations reach extreme heights and are subsequently disappointed by the real deal.

Agreed. Quite sad that some people are not able to put away their personal feelings about creator when judging the creation. For instance an author wouldn't play a role when choosing whether to use ReiserFS either.

Despite your implication how is Oreboro Party far-right, wikipedia actually states they are:
characterized as left-wing, right-wing, populist, nationalist, and conservative
and:
Ideology: Populism, Swedish nationalism, Left-conservatism, Anti-corruption, Anti-establishment, Anti-immigration
Political position: Syncretic
So basically everyone can (dis)like it for some reason...

I disagree. I think it were the content creators and influencers who started it to avoid demonetizing and soft-censorship (the content not being promoted instead of being banned) and then regular people displayed sheep behaviour and started monkeying it. Tiktok influencers are perfectly capable of originating something when their bottom line is concerned.

Nice. I noticed that the games they play are mostly for 4-8 players, so this is quite a overkill. Not too surprising - despite our wishes LAN parties nowadays will be just a shadow of those we had in our teens.

Old reddit still works for me even without login though. I'm too lazy to figure out which from the multiple of userscripts and addons I use allows it, but apparently the block is done half-assedly and easy to circumvent.

This is stupid analysis.
Complaining without nuance about "D004 - parameter has no description" suggests the article was written by an AI agent, because some parameters simply don't need any description. Prime example is "url" parameter explicitly mentioned in the article - unless there are multiple possible url parameters, adding the description just bloats context.

Too bad Apple wouldn't allow the registration requiring the tapping - it would have been cool if whole social network was a tree with a single root - the founder.
Ofc it's probably for the better if it's to have a chance to spread at least a little.

Hm, I don't see much reason to use it unless the website in question is paid. Web today is run on ad revenue and not only won't the site extract any revenue from the agent, it even won't look as a person for ad purposes.

Cool, but the ultimate result - the related articles in that post - is not great. Suggested articles have barely anything to do with the topic. I think there should be minimal threshold (probably found empirically) for similarity and if no article reaches it, just don't show any.

>For instance, the level of conflict on discussion pages, as assessed by raters, has been shown to negatively correlate with the quality of the corresponding Wikipedia articles.
An alternative explanation is that "toxic comments" protect wikipedia from low quality content, acting as defense mechanism against bad editors. So without better study which tries to analyze if the critique (regardless of toxicity) is justified, it's absolutely useless to make any conclusions from the article.
