They figured out that this kind of feed makes the most money from the most users. They don't care if you like it, they care what the majority of users will stick around for. The longer total scrolling time they can get from their user base, the more ads they can cram in there. Ads make money.

Algorithm leads to more scroll time per person leads to more ads per user leads to more income

So, because money

Don't.

I like what this is, I don't want it to become everything for everyone

He didn't even take the time to look up the effect of inflation between the good ol' days and today. Didnt specify what time frame in what location he's talking about when he says $500 cars used to run a while.

It's fine to discuss, not okay to pretend to have inside perspective

No question at all, just a statement.

A rubix cube type of thing? It just seems like the skeleton of something, like it had other wooden parts that latched onto the knobs and rotated somehow.

Absolutely! Making it memorable and fun does not mean making it expensive. Cut whatever you can't afford, do not take out a loan to cover anything. Then cut anything that isn't meaningful to you and your partner.

A wedding planner is helpful if you don't have a trusted and naturally organized friend who volunteers to handle details for you.

I'd also recommend taking a local honeymoon.

I'd rather see them doing something they enjoy for a fair wage while being treated like a human being. Universal Basic Income had already been mentioned in this thread, why is begging on the streets the only other option?

I'm looking for a better knife sharpener for my hard steel chef knife. I think whetstones are the way to go, but most of the sets I see are 4 double sided stones. Do I need that many stones?

Is there a totally different type of sharpener that you have had success with?

Edit: I should add that I like my knife very sharp, and I have a few tiny chips in the cutting edge from a cheap drag-through sharpener.

 

On android, I've had trouble with adguard.dns constantly kicking my phone off my wifi. It did great with blocking ads everywhere, but I'm done with reconnecting so often, and I have less data available on my phone plan these days to fill in.

I'm looking for something I can fill in this spot and it just works

What other addresses have you used that consistently block ads?

In Bing Image Creator, DAL-E 3

Prompt: an electric guitar designed with built in speakers and a flowing design with glowing lights and swirls of shiny blue on exotic hardwood

After several iterations of this, I thought surely someone had built this before. Oh yes, I quickly found out, people had put built in speakers in electric guitars many times.
