"Look, I made a really exciting controversial discovery! It's really emotional and intriguing! You're missing out! Only smart rich people can read it! Put your money in the basket please :)" Our education system is dead the the populace is too stupid to care.

it's so easy to create these types of accounts and flood them with low-effort AI slop that blocking one or two accounts never did it for me. regardless of the platform (tiktok, facebook, instagram, any other social media, including some of your revered FOSS platforms) it's easy to bypass humanity filters with very little effort and fill the account with garbage. all of these platforms behave the same way: if outside accounts engage with it, it becomes more valuable. that's why there are so many of these, and why "just banning" a few of them won't solve it

  1. create account
  2. use AI or automated process to post tons of slop videos
  3. stupid people like, comment or share the video
  4. account's engagement goes up
  5. now transition it into advertising
  6. sell it to a company. "Look, this account has 100k followers. How's $10,000 sound?"

Doesn't hosting your password database in the cloud make it vulnerable to cracking? If it transmits across a network, then an ISP (at the very least; this assumes no malicious actors) will have seen it, and you can no longer be certain no one else has access to it.

They mention a character Charlie, unicorns, and a candy place. I don't know why they are being so careful to avoid accusations of stealing the author's work, because that's exactly what they're doing. People who are familiar with Charlie the unicorn are supposed to recognize it here, and spend their money on Warner Bros merchandise. How could you possibly not see this as theft?
