YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

I see Paypal is the owner, I assume it'll be Enshittified on launch

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago

Afaik honey was acquired by PayPal, they were an independent startup until then. But yeah.

I heard about this extension years ago. I wasn't always suspicious about it, but I still never used it. I can't say I'm surprised that it turned out to be a scam.

I'd rather pay full price honestly than support stuff like this.

I reckon if you're stupid enough to click a thumbnail like that, you're going to get scammed at some point anyway

[–] [email protected] 41 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Lol damn... yeah those thumbnails are pretty insufferable

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Unironically, I have an estension to fix them. (Replaces thumbnails with a random video frame.)

That's it. There is also clickbait remover iirc, I used before but switched for some reason I don't remember.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

That thumbnail is for the video exposing honey.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Precisely the thumbnail that would prevent you from getting scammed.

But.. ya, that is the worst possible style of thumbnail regardless.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

So, what thumbnail do you suggest? Can you post a thumbnail with your ideal design in mind?

The point of a thumbnail is to attract viewers to your video, among the sea of millions of other videos that get posted every day. How do you propose they do that?

Ccc is just an Amazon price tracker. IIRC their revenue is generated by clicks (the outbound hyperlinks have their Amazon affiliate identifier).

WRT to the affiliate program itself, no idea. Last I checked it still does what it says on the tin.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 15 hours ago

They're actually providing a useful service, unlike honey just telling you that no coupons exist.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago

I knew that shit was up to no good. I never install anything like that. I assumed it would be sniping on me, I’m sure it does that too.

No way, big YouTubers are all scumbags? Who would have thunk?
