Bravo, I had been just thinking about getting some of these made up

I wouldn’t say it cost any votes, but it seemed to rile them up more

All it takes is some API calls and some simple python scripting and you could data mine a person. Maybe they subconsciously only upvote LGBT posts. Maybe they downvote leftwing posts.

Then, oops, one day they post something that can doxx them and now they’re getting targeted ads or worst case a stalker or someone who wants to get them fired/thrown in jail.

Now imagine a machine learning algorithm or AI has done all the data mining and it took just a couple days to work through all users on lemmy.world.

If there’s any data that could be used to make money someone will eventually try it.

It’s probably a McKinsey playbook getting passed around

If you know plex it’s the same thing just open source.

But they are just video player front ends for your media libray

Well yeah Pat just retired
