I started to watch him as he never pulled punches and picked some great match ups of guests and hot topics.

I stopped because his insufferable ego kept compelling him to continuously talk over everyone with his non-stop opinionated smug. Once I noticed I was just watching one man listening to the sound of his own voice while guests that I wanted to hear from get repeatedly cut off at every third word by his desire to manufacture Jerry Springer type drama, I realised how punchable I truely found him to be.

I don't think that's the full story.

How often do you think people ask Google a question, either to the assistant or just in the search bar and get served the answer scraped directly into the search results, and never need to actually click into the article at all?

Facebook does this too.

Between that and needing to adjust ones journalism style to appease click throughs and the algorithm just to get eyes on ads, dilutes the quality of the write ups as an added problem.

I think making social media pay might be misguided, but there is definitely a problem, maybe even a form of plagiarism committed by alot of these social media giants by taking other people's work and serving it up directly, and summarized on their own sites next to a link that many people won't click on. It is after all in their best interest to get you to stay on the feed feeding.

Reddit is absolutely guilty of this too. It's just that we happily do it for them and create TLDR bots and the like.

It's absolutely fair if Google is populating their feeds with weather, news and other content from other peoples hard work, and then having the balls to serve up ads, that these websites should have a right to claim a cut of the advertising or not have the information shown.

Amazing

Coincidentally Ive gotten back in to Star Craft 2. Still a banger of a game! I hope that the franchise survives.

Haha! I think I've convinced her that the colour doesn't matter as much as she thinks.

Yeah. I imagine the Global's are less of a hassle. The Chinese ROM was horrific. Got most of it to work eventually but could never get the assistant to work at all pretty much. MIUI in general I found to be a bit of a hack experience.

Good shout. Yeah I'm struggling to comprehend that people pay top tier laptop / second hand car prices for a phone. The 8 pro is basically perfect otherwise. 7 or maybe 8 vanilla could be the way to go.

Thanks. Added to my research pile!

Holy shit what a bunch of blistering thunder cunts. I hope Microsoft guts them.
