  • In addition to what everyone else is saying, a really good reason not to have energy drinks on a soda fountain, aside from the fact that the energy drink soda would cost far more than a regular soda, is that energy drinks contain a lot of caffeine and if they were on dispenser some idiot would go and fill up a 64 Oz energy drink and drink the equivalent to 5 to 8 Red bulls in a single sitting.

    No gas station wants to deal with the legal ramifications of “exploding people’s hearts because they are too stupid to understand that these things can be deadly”, because if people are dumb enough to chug Red Bull until they die they are also dumb enough to sue because of the deaths.








  • I can see how it happens though.

    No one was doing any oversight on their practices. If you were running a referral affiliate link system, it must have seemed like honey was doing a really good job bringing customers to you.

    I’m just kind of disappointed that nobody inside the company ever spoke up or blew any whistles and said “Hey, this is at best unethical if not entirely illegal and either way exposes us to the risk of a massive lawsuit, maybe we should just actually do our jobs instead of stealing the work of other people.”



  • Okay so here’s my take on it not that anybody asked.

    There are likely back doors in all computerized Networked devices.

    There is likely some identifying information being sent back to random servers from a myriad of places.

    That being said, you are not worth the time to directly observe.

    Most likely, all of this data goes into a large database where they analyze trends and look for people that are outside of various tolerance zones.

    Other than that, all of your data is just noise, grist for the grist Mill.

    It is only when you become a person of interest who is worth devoting the time to directly analyze that these risks escalate to the point where you should have concern about it.

    99.9999% of us are just not important enough to pay attention to.


  • He was overreacting because the bot publicized that he had clicked like on a porn video.

    His ban of the user was an attempt to cover up his mistake and thanks to the Streisand effect now we’ve got screenshots.

    It’s pretty freaking sad honestly.

    If I did something like that at my job I would be looking for a new job. Not really sure why they haven’t responded or dealt with that in any way.

    There’s a very simple solution to this, and I’m honestly not quite sure why no one is doing it.

    Make ads voluntary. Make them separate from the rest of the experience.

    Make it so that you can watch ads and answer surveys based off of the ads in order to get credits which then allow you to watch videos.

    Alternatively, make it so that you can purchase the credits out right.

    Everyone fucking wins.

    I don’t know why people are so stupid as to not even contemplate the easiest and most satisfying solution to all of the problems.
