The freaky thing is it works. I made the mistake of checking Facebook, which I actively avoid. The ignorant are very active, and loving the lies

Just listened to this story ~15 hours ago on my way to work. Great news

How the debate 'whistleblower' car crash conspiracy went viral in c/[email protected]

That is not surprising given the number of people that believe in magic

Or religion. Or ghosts. Or Bigfoot. Or demons. Or the supernatural. Or zodiac signs. Or miracle cures. Or chiropractors. Or antivax. Or Qanon. Or sovern citizenship.

It's always disappointing how many people believe in obviously fake bullshit.

This isn't rare or increasing, it's just that one generation is now in the age bracket for it. "Gen alpha is seeing a surge in highschool graduations" would be equally likely in the near future. It's not surprising, it's a long-standing trend associated with age.

Someone needs to train an LLM AI on Trump's speeches. I bet the random gibberish output would be hilarious. in c/[email protected]

Idk, it feels metaphorical from a tangential point of view

With that context, 4 months and $800 doesn't feel like enough

Community solves homelessness... By paying cops over 3 million dollars (denvergazette.com)
 

I hate this news story. If I wasn't living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it's a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It's a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.

Corporate astroturfing is the norm (lemmy.world)
 

Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

YouTube: 5 ads the norm now? (lemmy.world)

For context I'm in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they've increased in quantity by 150%. It's also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an hour long. What the actual fuck, why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point? It's literally unwatchable

Edit: the amount of unsolicited advice in the comments is unreal. I don't get ads on my phone or on desktop, I'm very aware of how to block them. I simply won't watch YouTube on my PlayStation anymore. I'm not looking for suggestions, please stop with the recommendations.
