No I swear I just have an account there for all the SFW stuff!!!
Y’all better calibrate your AI radars quick if this one is fooling you lol
“Oh boy the line went up that must mean I’m on the winning team!”
The problem is that without an effective way to ID bot content then stats like this could be covering up the real trends in human users, particularly in any stat that purports to measure all lemmy instances since we already know there are instances out there filled with thousands of bot users
Ya I wouldn’t apply to any role at this company if I saw that, that’s a major red flag that their VC money has either run out or is about to lol
The “too good to be true” sell and complete lack of detail / pricing on their website is sketchy imo. I’m immediately suspicious of any org that profits off of piracy in such an opaque way
Ya I’m surprised that people are advocating for Plex these days especially in a self hosting community, it’s overbloated and mostly exists to force their FAST service down your throat
There have already been instances found that had thousands of bot accounts, they’ve been defederated but clearly people are gearing up
To my knowledge there’s also no way of identifying bot accounts unless they proactively self identify so these numbers don’t don’t mean much
Damn I’ve never even heard of that but I wish I had, it seems like it’d be fun to fuck around and see how many recorded responses you can find lol
I’ve never used one myself but I’ve heard talk of various ones either A) taking the public (real) like number and extrapolating the dislikes based on an old like/dislike ratio available for the video from before the dislike removal (doesn’t work on new videos) or B) the extension includes a feature where the user can like/dislike the video within the extension and then the dislike number is extrapolated using the public (real) like number and the extension’s private like/dislike ratio. In either case the number is not connected to the “real” dislike count that YouTube would have access to internally
Pretty sure those extensions all use some sort of estimate methodology, the dislikes aren’t available via any apis or anything
To cut out the BS legal double speak, it’s so you can have a steam-like interface that’s designed to be natively compatible with pirated games and allow friends to access them from your server
It isn’t AI, it’s the economy. Companies that got money from investors regardless of their profitability now have to survive on their own profits which forces them to restructure
regular ambulance rides are free anyway
what in tarnation
Do you think that sort of engagement isn’t exactly what reddit is trying to encourage lol
Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
Even their “correct” functionality is sketchy AF, the average user would still have no idea what that URL tag meant and thus would not be making the informed choice the article implies they would be making
