This is why

The long and short of it - Google search was designed at a time when the web was in its infancy. Basically just text and a few images.

Fast forward to today, and reddit is the only one that still allows its data to be crawled.

As media has become more social (basically all of it) the walled gardens prevent you from even viewing content without an account.

Every platform wants you to be searching inside their service.

Google is useless.

Oh there’s still plenty of that. You must be one of those with the “popular” opinions.

The rape elimination act ended most of that? Conservatively, between 1986 & 2006, as many as 1M inmates were documented to have been sexually assaulted.

I think you’re projecting a bit on how you’d like to imagine prisons operate.

PREA is mostly an information gathering mechanism.

One person died already.

If they remove sticky notes I’m going to lose my shit.

If you can see it from space where is the photo?

Thanks. Yeah that’s a big motivator for us as well you can only buy so much cheap Chinese Amazon shit.

That, and we like the idea of having a store to return items if need be, but it’s not as easy as Amazon, there’s no streaming services and they carry less products.

Jury’s still out, might just keep both cards.

Mind blowing that craigslist exists even at all TBH.

Can we actually have a discussion on what’s at hand here instead of knee jerk reactions?

Perhaps you had to have been there for all the “building better worlds” and “bringing people together” horseshit every silicon valley company was spewing since the dot com boom in the 2000’s

It’s not an actual promise so don’t act pedantic. The point is- society was sold these concepts and ideas as solutions to existing problems, and they’ve instead become bigger and more expensive problems.

Damn that was super interesting to read. Thanks for the post. 👍

Super interesting read, thanks for posting. (Pls don’t delete my comment)

The sound of nails being clipped or bitten.

Well, I hear ya - but a vast majority of what helped Reddit (or any community) pick up, is DIY and self generated content.

If that content can’t be found easily - ex; via search engine, or the content is entirely missing, then it doesn’t really help either cause. That’s just my 2 cents, because let’s face it, the search on Lemmy is fragmented and I think the help of big data could be promising.

I knew that might strike a chord 🤘😁

Welding.

So all those people who work for a living and contribute to society, who save up that money to buy those handbags are just schmucks? Give me a break.

Not true at all.

Ahh and where were you when an experimental mRNA jab was pushed en masse, people lost their jobs and acquired health complications because of this "vaccine " that didn’t even help?

But something tells me your double standards speak volumes.

Glad there’s people like you who have it all figured out. Suck it. Besides if you’re talking about knowing your audience, Better Off Dead would like a word.
