    Netflix is leaning hard into trying to make you watch anything other than what you want to watch. This is such a weird obsession of tech companies. Websites do it all the time. I’m trying to read an article and they keep shoving pictures and links to other articles all over the middle of what I’m reading. Oh, and when I get half way through, they refresh the page so the can show me more things I’m not interested in. Fucking wankers.

      TikTok proves it works and keeps people with low attention spans addicted and more likely to watch ads. This should become an unethical practice like pyramid schemes. If your website shows a high percentage of unrelated content, it should be seized by the government.

    Yeah, but you can still enjoy 1.7.10 + 1.12.2 not the same could be said for all the other things

        Google started charging for the map api use of their service, there are ads in search and the ui is horrendous.

        The one guy running altgrocery got charged hundreds of dollars because people flooded their website’s map in search of local independent grocers.

        That’s why I’m on Organic maps instead now. It’s got 1% of the user base and 10.5% contributors as Google maps has. The UI is clean and the map is easy to contribute to.
