Paywall it for short term gain, at the expense of long term viewership growth.

Making a company worse for increased short term revenue, at the cost of customer retention, product quality, etc. causing increased turnover which further compounds all the other steps. Is a common issue among all modern companies.

In short, there was a shift in MBA education a while back that includes a bunch of lies-by-omission and misrepresented data. Meaning that the only thing on their mind when they graduate, is to please investors at any all costs, including company longevity.

I’m pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you’ll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.

It’s basically impossible to block everything, although most of what you listed in a comment is unavailable to websites. To minimize what is available you can use ublock origin, umatrix and user-agent switcher.

Literally the same reason why Ford sells 150s and 250s and Volvo sells 70s and 90s: They are different products and don’t base the version numbers on their competitor.

Yes, it’s obvious sarcasm. But reading comprehension has seriously gone to shit in the last decade or so.

Yeah, it’s very obvious that some of the people responding here don’t interact much with non-tech people, and they have DEFINITELY never worked IT.

Most people aren’t interested in learning the more intricate things. And if you try to force them, they’re not going to get more interested as they learn, because they literally are not interested in tech. They want to accomplish a task, if that takes a bunch of learning just for one thing, they’ll go a different route, or pay someone else to do it for them.

That has to be one of the most out of touch takes I’ve seen in a while. You’re basically saying that things should be intentionally more complicated, and you expect the result to be people just power through and getting used to things being that way, instead of just stopping.

This is what happens when leadership listens to tech-bros and ignore everyone else, including legal, ethics and actual tech experts.

They’ll be backpedaling like crazy and downplay it like a furby-style thing.

It’s just as real at the OilWell app.

Using modified hardware might break other regulations or terms of services, but using a backup copy of a copy you own that hardware is not piracy in several jursidictions. Which is the answer to the question in the comment.

Because in the US and several other countries you can legally back up a cartridge that you have bought. In that case it wouldn’t be piracy.

Yes, but the manager with a shitty MBA doesn’t care about overall company appearance of performance, as long as their department looks good on paper. And they figured that would be easier by using four different external libraries, and then let another department figure out the rest.

I’m guessing it’s not even hard to get it to “confidently” violate the rules.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if it’s actually set in a more anime-style world, and that the “real” looking one in the trailer is imaginery or something.

Long story short: They are not combatting bots on their platform. They sold training data to google and these guys aren’t paying, that’s why they’re suing.

I know, what are they making next? Lord of the Rings edition? Star Wars? Oh the humanities.

Fair warning: Last week one of my accounts was seemingly shadowbanned, and now gets “This content isn’t available” on every video.

Logging out plays videos, making a new brand account worked, etc. and no notification from youtube.

And that’s not even getting started on “ai girlfriends”, that are isolating vulnerable people to a terrifying degree. And since they are garbage at context, they do things like that case last year where it could seem like it was encouraging a suicidal teen.
