It’s kinda naive to think that they’re not employing those tactics. Every coorporation/industry uses them.

It is. But also it makes ev owners crawl back to the dealer or manufactures to get their car fixed

Netenyaho: cool bro👍🏼

It’s alright, I’m sure they have a time machine to take you back at least an hour to catch your flight 🙃

As far as I know, it recommends videos on the top page based on your viewing history

Yeah I think this is the main driver here. Real estate prices will plummet as they sell these spaces and it will reverberate throughout the economy

Yes, the ads is a whole another level. Using it without ad-block is not pleasant one bit

Yeah, I catch myself sometimes to switch to NewPipe. But sometimes the videos just don’t play. And sometimes it works fine

Good bot!

Yes I agree with you. Canadians are quite well educated. The problem becomes the lack of opportunities for all of those people. You end up strong competition for little jobs, which drives the wages down. Couple that with the very expensive housing market, and you get educated young adults that struggle to settle down.

Across the border in the US, opportunities in the STEM and plenty and wages are much better. US has lots of problems, but attracting talent is not one of them and Canadians talent is super easy to enter the US

Canada doesn’t have a shortage of talent. It has a problem retaining them.

I’ll add that some of those that have the means of doing something are doing something.

Another thing. People that don’t think climate change is real will learn the hard way when their livelihood get impacted by its consequences. Deniers can ignore reality, but it certainly won’t ignore them

Switched to Firefox years ago and never looked back.

I love how this has taken off!

Thoughts and prayers

Yep, we’ve seen that before

Ha, funny you say that. I moved from Canada to US because of work. It’s been a good experience so far. I dont have family here nor kids. I do sometimes think of moving back when I have kids just because I have family on canada. They can provide lots of emotional support and build relationships that really can’t be filled with daycare. Plus, I avoid daycare costs.

What is the value of steeling a dead brain and skin?

This is not the end of reddit. It is just a hiccup for them as they go public. But the protests was a good opportunity for folks to learn about alternatives. I certainly didn’t know alternatives existed. I’m glad to have found fediverse. I fully support the idea and want to see it grow.
