I think the most interesting thing is that you don’t see any rage bait in that screenshot. It seems the grift is working as intended to me.
- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 1 week ago:
keep showing viewers the videos that we think they’ll love
We’ll keep profiling you and target you with videos that drive engagement, so largely things that inspire rage or conflict between you and others. Extra points if we drive your political and social views further to the right.

- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 weeks ago:
It’s often not the speaker doing the editing, there are thousands of channels built around creating and releasing these cast-a-wide-net shorts to subtly drive you towards their goal of obsessively watching right wing vtubers saying things that compel you to be a selfish narcissist.
- Comment on Thank you, Thor! 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, for real. YouTube is essentially placing infinite bets that it can drive you into the rabbit hole. Watched a short of Dillahunty give Peterson a verbal wedgy? You must like big words, so here’s more Peterson! Watched a short of Joey Swoll telling people to be polite, because it rolled on automatically? Here’s an Andrew Tate wannabe with shrivelled nuts to subtly criticise you about your dad bod.
Obsession and radicalisation are one and the same to the algorithm, and both turn a targeted individual into a money printer. And fuck the consequences right? Because Google got theirs.

I came to PS through YouTube shorts and his streams were cut to ribbons and repatched into something resembling a zeitgeist-appealing view.
Then I watched a couple of his long form videos and was like … eh. If anything it taught me more about the danger of using shorts as an onboard to any big vtuber. Much like movie trailers and their movies, they tend to overpromise and underdeliver.
This became undeniably apparent when YouTube started shoving Jordan Petersen into my feed. Much like the thousand monkeys at their typewriters, you can take the words of anyone who talks at length almost daily on a subject and edit them into something that sounds reasonable and appealing.
I already knew that JP was a right wing rhetoric Markov chain posing as an expert/pundit before YT started promoting him, but it really did cement the point.
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, sorry not trying to be snarky - you are completely right so it is useful information.
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 weeks ago:
I have made a note, thank you!
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 weeks ago:
Yes I know, that’s why I use both for different purposes
I mean whether TailScale is more similar to Mullvad in business model and customer centrism, or whether the early signs of enshittification are already there (I haven’t seen any red flags to date)
- Comment on Mullvad's ads are good 2 weeks ago:
Mullvad is one of those services that just works and I never worry about whether my server’s connection has fallen over. It’s fairly priced, transparent, and doesn’t abuse my privacy or trust. They never try to lure me into buying more/bigger/better like pretty much every company does now. Much like my water supply, I literally forget that the underlying solution exists because it so reliably does it’s job.
Feeling the same about Tailscale recently, but this comment is bait to find out if I’m wrong! Not paying yet but considering it.

- Comment on 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup 3 weeks ago:
Navidrome uses the Subsonic protocol to provide it’s playlist.
You can use that to import to Symfonium, for example, but it won’t stay synced if you make a change at one end or the other. You can reimport in Symfonium but it’s still pretty messy and not very useful if you want to update your playlists on the go.

- Comment on 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup 3 weeks ago:
Navidrome + Feishin are a killer combo for replacing Spotify.
Symfonium provides a similar UX on Android.
(The only thing I’m lacking is playlist synchronization and, as far as I can tell, no such homelab software exists to do it.)
