More like a zombie. It is still shuffling along, but the life left it long ago.
I'm going to take this as the HN effect, if something isn't doing 500% a year its dead.

swarnie commented on Moss survived outside of the International Space Station for 9 months livescience.com/space/sci... · Posted by u/geox
When interviewed, Moss stated: "The ambient emvironment is indeed challenging. But when I think about the toxic political discourse, collapsing rules-based global order and of course, the inevitable temperature increase past 1.5 or even 2 degC above pre-industrial state, I really don't regret my move"
Moss has been invited to touch grass.

Too bad there are no technologies that would allow the citizenry to communicate nearly instantaneously and cast their votes in a pseudo-anonymous manner.
Impossible, we must interpret the intentions of some blokes who died 220 years ago and try to assume what they would have wanted.
Its the only way.

"...scammers obtain sexual images of a user, often a teenager, under false pretenses and then blackmail them – ... was becoming commonplace on Meta’s platforms"
There you go U.K. OFCOM. Here's child endangerment propagated knowingly by Facebook. Don't worry, I know you won't do anything to Facebook because you "protecting" kids is pretext.
Listen throw7, Meta paid almost £30 million in tax in 2023, an effective tax rate of 12%. I'm unsure why numbers for 2024 aren't available but you'll need to speak to legal about that.
If you want to throw7 that all away over some media speculation be my guest. I'll tell the NHS to fund themselves for 11 minutes next year to make up the shortfall.

I recently noticed that a channel I subscribed completely gave up. She used to have a lot of reselling and business content, and even had an Amazon Liquidations storefront, etc. Now all that's gone, and she's showing typical rage bait BS, like Walmart shoplifters getting caught and the like, and every video she's wearing low-cut tops to get extra cleavage out there. I have no doubt she's getting more engagement than she used to.
At that point just pivot to a MindGeek video service, their pay per 1k views is significantly better than Youtube.
