This is a talk turned into a web page done right. It seems like it should be a simple thing to do, but often the results are confusing and hard to read. Not here, well done!

I recently noticed that Youtube has been adding videos to my watch history that I didn't watch. Not just random videos, but ones the algorithm keeps pushing that I'm not interested in.

I know I didn't watch them, but there they are on my history page. It feels kinda icky and I don't know how to stop it.

Are you saying replace the volunteer moderators with Reddit staffers? Or empower a large group of new, untested, volunteer moderators?

Neither sounds like it would help achieve their profit goals.

Do you then fix the typo with no attribution to the original reporter? Or do you just choose not to fix a known error because you question the motives of the reporter?

This seems like the right answer. Either pay for the service or use something else. There's no sense in paying for one account, then secretly using it as two accounts.

I always assumed having to type the smile domain was more about making sure they didn't have to make both an affiliate payment and a smile payment on the same order.

I don't understand why a corporate death penalty is seen as untenable. For some crimes, yes shut the business down and zero-out the folks who sought to profit from the unlawful activity. If some of those people were defrauded into believing the business was lawful, the should seek the same remedies other defrauded people do.

You ask if the folks who depend on the company's product should go without. No, they should move their business to a competitor. If there is no competitor, maybe that's evidence that the business plan is not viable while acting lawfully.

What does less wokeness mean? Does it mean being more tolerant of abusive language? Does it mean being less tolerant of inclusive language? Both? Something else?

I've heard folks ask for less wokeness, but I don't know what that would look like.

This is the way. Decent hardware, support for FLAC, and the ability to run android apps if streaming is your thing.

Heating fuel is very expensive in bush Alaska, as is window glass. Small windows help with both.
