I am proud that one of my posts on this community has reached 100 upvotes.

I did say ai. I said
“ai, but bot.” People in this thread were actually legitly saying their stance on bots. and also on ai. which, if I’m wrong then i’m wrong, I accept the critisism. personally this post could be a meme at this point. 27 downvotes, that’s crazy on Lemmy. I hadn’t seen a post on this communitywith as many, not sure if that’s a record or not. for this community.
- Comment on Google paid Samsung $8 billion to be the default search engine, app store and voice assistant 1 year ago:
How did this post get nearly 200 upvotes but fewer comments, then an average post with 75-100 upvotes I mean I get this this news is shocking because it’s Samsung not apple, so it is a new leak regarding Gogole, but sheesh a lot of things this week was just about as ‘shocking’
The numbers are impressive, so i’m not necesarilly complaining, but those numbers caught my eye. congratulations op

How much money are these companies sitting on, and yet they are still capping peoples wifi down to 1tb, which is a good amount acually but nothings changed for years in many areas regarding data caps, unless you have more money or happen to be in a good u.s state with competition for internet, like Ohio.

actually I see what some of you mean, regarding bots can kill communities, because real users know what stories are worth sharing. When bots do it right though, i still believe it drives up conversation when people aren’t posting, when real users engage in conversation in the comments and talk about the article that the bot shared. Which was my major point for bots, but not to really replace real users. which I feel some of you thought I meant it to that degree, of which I did not.

meaining it’s about a 50-50 split in the us. i’m still not really concerned. when you have only two smartphones, ad no one wants to make a 3rd commercial smart phone that is not based on andriod, resualts like this are bound to happen.

It might not or mightt be true, I know a lot of artist hate it, you’d be hard pressed to not find any that like ai, not saying that no one out of these groups could not appreciate it. I do think ai can be great, but it’s all over the internet, that people just don’t like ai. Might even be 50-50 60-40 who knows, but it’s still a noticable amount.

I am totally ok with disagreements. I think people like to learn from others, even when they might just simply be wrong at times in the public opinion.

wait, then how do youtube’s ads on smart tvs generate money? something doesn’t add up because on smart tvs you cannot click the ad in the same way or even at all.

wait what??~~ what??!! the fediverse has been nothing more then supportive of a lot of these marginalised groups. as soon as I saw the headline my jaw dropped. where.is.your.evidence.?
- Comment on Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem 1 year ago:
Chrome wasn’t the problem, more or so Google being the defualt search engine everywhere you go except windows, and the degraded search experience on Google. Google chrome itself is actually a good fast speedy browser. whether it’s the speediest is debatable. but it is a good one.
also Google Chrome is pre installed on Chromebooks and Android phones. while Chromebooks aren’t as… popular, android phones particularly dominate sales charts.

absolutely, so lets say for instance, a bot posts an article, what stops people from discussing that tech news arcticle in the comments, and a bot might not get every piece of news, so users can then creat posts to fill in those blanks. I guess an argument could be made that less people would make posts, but then if there are no bots at all, there that chance that at some point that people just stop using Lemmy and go back to tradition social platforms because they feel there isn’t as much content.
so when you look at it on both sides; bots, or no bots, both have their potential bad sides. but also potential benefits.

I’m going to try the block all bots setting myself. perhaps it isn’t as less active active when they don’t jsut sometimes come in and post something here or there. I’m gonna do a small personal test to see if it feels any different in a good or bad way over all.
another thing i’m confirming right now is that I don’t want there to just be bots. I was just saying that sometimes bots can help start conversations when people aren’t posting. when done right, it seems to work. sure it isn’t always done right, but there have been times when it started good conversations with real people in the post.

I get that standpoint, if that’s all you get but on this community, you get bots and also real users here that also creat posts, combine the two then factor in the conversations that form in the comments.

wait wait chill let me explain my thoughts process of my that statement to you
sometimes a bot might post an article, sometimes a real person. regardless, if the article is relavent, then real people might join in to discuss the article, which on this community this happens.

I feel people are just misunderstanding, I don’t see why there’s so much backlash, let me explain my thoughts process in more detail.
my idea was actually more like this.
sometimes a bot might post an article, sometimes a real person. if the article is relavent, then real people might join in to discuss the article, which on this community this happens.

look at it in perspective, like on this community, alot of people like talking about tech, but when users aren’t posting, they might still seek new content. so when the bots do post something, it brings life to the community and activity. and usually when they do post something it is relatively new if not brand new news articles that bring people together to talk about.
- Comment on Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem 1 year ago:
the thing is apple devices aren’t terrible, just over priced, they are better when it comes to less ads, or are they…? on most Android phones the ads come from the apps the user use, which are likely to be the same ona n iphone anyways. YouTube anyone?
. and knowing how much free money apple gets from the search engine deal on the daily and yet they still charge $1000 for phones that right there, ends my trust for that company, forget about their privacy claims after that nonsense.
- Comment on Ads watchdog files FTC complaint against X, formerly Twitter, over unlabeled ads | TechCrunch 1 year ago:
About time, unlabeled ads isn’t even a requirement to make money off of ads, or is it…?
clicking on an ad generates more revenue then just seeing one if I remember correctly. which seems to be why YouTube encourages users to get use to waiting and clicking on the skip button, if on the browser site theres a chance of a user clicking on the ad and opening it’s link.
- Comment on Can we all agree on this one thing, that most people hate ai, but the bots on lemmy are an acception since they bring life to the communities when activities dries up. 1 year ago:
Good points, although they do tend to bring activity back to communities and give a reason to use them when people aren’t posting. and while the bots aren’t necesarily ai, they essentially do the same thing, automated tasks by a cpu.
- Comment on ‘But What Do We Do if Google Is Legitimately Just a Better Search Engine?’ 1 year ago:
in a perfect world, when it is the better search engine, and they didn’t cheat then i’d say do nothing. they did no wrong so why even ask this question?

Look at it like this, how many wanted the Playstation 3 when it was cool, then factor in how many people bought that at launch vs the ps2 at launch. Actual market share matter more then opinions on what’s cool.
- Comment on Android isn't cool with teenagers, and that's a big problem 1 year ago:
Teenagers might think they want an iPhone, but not everyone has the money for one and paying the bills. Whether they could make life changes to make more money is debatable, but the fact remains that not everyone does have $1000 to throw at a phone.
Because of this, the cheaper yet surprisingly still usable alternative, android phas the larger marketshare. Since Google makes money on ads it’s better for them to hand out more phones for cheap or in same cases for free, when a manufacturer makes a phone, when all those users see ads on YouTube and Google.

Yet android has the bigger marketshare.

One thing to note, Lg has their own app store, they would bundle it on smartphones along with the playstore. I remember having a phone from them that did the bundling. Now I use Blu phones.
