  I was running an it services business at the time, so got to see a broad number of machines and peoples complaints.

  I think the massive jump in ram required was a huge problem, it went from most people having 128mb to 256mb, to a minimum of 512, but a reality of 2gb required.

  Plus the indexer was relentless and just smashed HDDs.

  Drivers were a problem too but people understood they would need to be have upgrades for their fancy new system.

  Then xp to vista happened and it looked pretty but was unusable. Then 7 came out and it solved all the BS and was a relief. Then 8 came out and it looked pretty but was unusable. Nobody is quite sure what happened with 9 but 10 was ok I guess, better than 8. Then I started using Linux because I was sick of the bullshit.

  It’s rarely some big plan just an ego thing

  Every site wants traffic, and I’ve been guilty of gaming search results myself in the past, but also don’t forget the other big conflict here:

  Google wants ad revenue.

  As such, if you are small and do it honestly, you have very little chance of getting any actual traffic your way because Google sends everyone to the “big end of town” and search engines / internet marketing has become a pay to win platform.

  Back links made sense when we were all linking to each other early on because it was how you found good content, but nobody is linking to anyone anymore - unless it’s for some return to the linker, such as making a high traffic blog post with affiliate links etc - and it’s time to come up with another method.

  Right now most effective for me to get information / reviews is add “Reddit” to the search and you get a discussion of the pros and cons. I’ve been using chatgpt for a surprising amount of “I just need to know this general info” kind of stuff. Ie I used chatgpt to work out the temperature and time it would take to dehydrate lemons in the oven, and also how to clean said oven with what I had on hand. Both of these would have been much more time consuming to do the traditional way, and I would have been bombarded with ads and people’s life stories before they get to the “just use vinegar” part

  If it’s written down AND printed out it is correct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Really, ….. it's my fault they built a terrible system?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I get your point, and I’m not saying that boost is the panacea of client possibilities, but here are my experiences with other clients (I’m also happy to be corrected if these gripes are resolved):

  1. The web interface. No ability to customise default views, when i go to all, it keeps loading shit as in trying to read it as new posts are added. Frustrating and I did not engage in the platform

  2. Jerboa, buggy as hell. Constantly crashing. Unusable.

  3. Connect. Good browser, but every time you comment you get punished by losing your place. No read tracking.

  4. Sync. Does almost everything I want. Some ads, wish it would hide read posts when I come back later.

  I’m a much more valuable member of the Lemmy community because I use sync.

  If there is another client that’s more betterer let me know and I will check it out.
