They were/are the answer for me once i didn’t enjoy having to play troubleshooter anymore on the less polished type setups like Home assistant.
Why are these two completely different metrics being put into the same title as if they correlate in some rational way?
The answer is they don’t, but it incites irrational reactions. Which, in my mind, is what Reddit is for; not HN.
Thanks for making this.
Maybe LLM’s auto transcribing and pinning timelines to them (like loom does) is the solve.
The industry simply recycling its business model in new delivery methods is a valid complaint/perception.
Innocent until proven guilty, not guilt until proven innocent.
Being de-platformed from financial infrastructure is tantamount to being economically jailed and instantly forced into life altering poverty. This isn’t some silly app you’re getting banned from…
Banks shouldn’t be allowed to ban anyone. They should need a court order to lock up/ban someone from access/mobility of their own property.
That said, this is likely a narrow lens statement. The problem is more complex around governments/judicial systems incentivizing banks to behave like governments. In reality, our regulatory agencies need to do their jobs: regulate/enforce and be held accountable when they don’t (instead of passing that enforcement on to banks through threat of liability).
Another obvious manipulation by Hinge (and the other apps) is I’m almost 100% positive they artificially limit who they show you by stacking the deck with a bunch of profiles of women they know haven’t logged into the service in awhile. Basically priming the pump with “possibility” to keep you engaged; diluting the active profiles and spreading any likely match possibilities out over time.
It’s things like these two realizations that made me decide these apps are not in existence to help you find a match. They’re incentive is the same as Facebook, engagement. You matching means you no longer using the app and that’s bad for business.
You get out what you put in.
We spend attention bandwidth to those we relate to. Those that don’t, we naturally let those text messages go unattended. We don’t think about it, we just naturally decline to foster any meaningful connection or development of one to those we don’t relate with.
It’s not all that smart sounding list of reasons, it’s simply subconscious behaviors that have created this reality.
