I know. I was quoting Interstellar :)

Fingers crossed the next test will have this view for a full re-entry

It's an excellent video. The realtime feed made it look like everything was great, fully under control. This shows that it really wasn't near the end, and it's loss wasn't truly "unexpected"

No, it's necessary!

Guns. Lots of guns.

If you make a system idiot proof, nature will always come up with a better idiot

We live in an age of subway wrappers telling you not to eat them, and microwaves including warnings to not use them to warm up pet dogs and cats. Because nature keeps improving on Communi Idiota

Instructions unclear, trash can now wedged into my dishwasher and a pipe burst behind it

Freebooting of news article is distinctly what this is about. Content creators losing clicks, impressions, and ad revenue due to Metas methodology.

People can have a whinge "it's news corp so fugg them" but just because something hurts something you don't like doesn't make it okay.

This. Freebooting is a huge issue and Meta made it a big thing and profits from it.

A video or image goes viral. Creator has it on a platform where they can monetise or benefit from the views. Some chucklefugg at a content network like ladbible takes it, strips watermarks and logos, posts it on their own Facebook page. Facebook makes money off the adverts on that page.

Original creator is deprived of clicks, and likely revenue, dutifully completes a DMCA on their stolen content. Maybe a day or two later Meta takes it down. They don't care, they still made money. Ladbible got a few thousand more subscribers to make impressions on their promoted posts, which nets then more money. The virality of the content has passed, the original creator doesn't even get 1% of the same clicks and even less credit for their work.

Now multiply the number of content networks by about 500. Some of whom are fully automated with no human intervention.

This is not okay, and Meta should be held to task for creating a financial incentive for people to do this.

tl;dr: No matter what they do, someone will be vocally upset

Mostly youtubers with clickbait thumbnails, and people without intelligence of their own blindly parroting what the clickbait tells them to.
