What you propose is simple (as in simplistic), but far from easy. Content moderation at scale is extremely difficult, if not impossible. See "Masnick's Impossibility Theorem."
Also, deplatforming bigots is difficult and ineffective:

Yes please to the interviews! And as always, thank you so much for these! I always get a happy bounce when I see your banner appear in my feed.
The relationship correlation data makes a lot of sense if only from a bandwidth perspective.
Correct. I can definitively say "I don't know how this happened." But I do know it creeps me out and spurs me to speed up my privacy efforts.
@Marty_Man_X@lemmy.world and @TORFdot0@lemmy.world both make great points, both of which can certainly explain the sudden change in suggestions.
Anecdote: (a little background) I don't typically deal with narcissistic people; I'm not troubled by narcissists in my life. My tech life is pretty well locked down, but it could always be better (working on it). And my YouTube suggestions are tightly, carefully curated to topics pertinent to my professional and personal projects.
I had an utter piece of shit contractor working for me on a project; he was a grifting, conniving, manipulative shitbag. When I outright fired his ass, he first got all self-righteous then tried to play the victim, but I wasn't playing any of his games. My phone was sitting on the workbench next to me.
The next day, I opened YouTube because an engineer I know told me he dropped a new video on software we recently discussed. There among my suggestions were a bunch of videos on how to deal with narcissists. So somehow, in only talking with the contractor (he doesn't use email, text, or other electronic communications), YouTube decided I was curious about dealing with narcissism. I'm morbidly curious how YouTube made that decision, and whether it was audio or "we know you're associating with this guy who we identify as a problematic narcissist and here are some resources."
Now, I'm just some douchecanoe on the internet and you should probably dismiss me based on that alone. But GODDAMN, the data points sure do pile up quickly on how deeply we're being surveilled.
Have you read "Red Team Blues" by Cory Doctorow? And if so, how did you feel it captured Red Team work?
This article feels a little disingenuous and seems written by someone who has only heard their friend complain about David Brooks. In his book "The Second Mountain," Brooks goes into his mea culpa moments. He has on more than a few occasions admitted his errors. I would share citations, but it was a library loan and it's on hold.
Those of us who protest against power, aren't we looking for exactly the kind of change of hearts and minds such that Brooks is showing?
As always, amazing content. Thank you for your reporting!
One would develop Popeye forearms gaming on that thing. Get in your arm, neck, and shoulder day while gaming!
I had a Toshiba Satellite around the time this was out. It weighed 12 pounds. That millstone went everywhere with me. Now my laptop weighs about six pounds minus the brick, and I might carry it from my desk to the settee. I look back at what our devices used to be and always think "Damn, I've gotten soft!"
Hello (former) fellow Lehi worker! Although I was remote except for the onsite weeks. I'm not a fan of 99% mobile apps, maybe more than 99%. I didn't work on mobile, but I am quite sure that it is in fact a PWA.
Different financial institutions (FI) will all have different appearances, because of the nature of how MX is implemented, and whether on desktop or mobile. In the case of my credit union, it's right here:
The interface of MX Platform on desktop looks like this:
You might see something like this in your online banking home page:
There are two ways that MX can get data from other accounts which you have to explicitly link in your bank/CU interface. The first method is through Open Banking protocols, which are mercifully obfuscated from the end user. Seriously, if you're having trouble sleeping, try reading some of the Open Banking specifications. :D One selects their FI from the list, and enters creds and 2FA challenge. The other method is screen-scraping, but again this is abstracted away from the end user.
One of the features where MX slaps more than anyone else (for now) is identifying the source of debits and classifying them. Underneath the hood, debit and credit card transaction strings are chaos. But even if MX gets it wrong, you can manually re-classify your expenses, and it will apply that to future transactions (optional). I already mentioned the burndowns, but if you have an idea for a saving schedule, MX will provide reminders and factor in your growth. Platform will also provide reminders for almost everything.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Agreed. "Oh no! Not an ETL!" I wish more applications were backed by MySQL, MariaDB, Mongo, etc. Give me the option of encryption at rest, and when it's time to change apps, I have granular control over everything.
On the other hand, the advantage of all the hate is everyone presenting their faves and providing their reasons. So ...net win for the audience?
