Google regularly abuses their market share dominance in browsers in order to push for changes to web standards that benefit them, such as their web integrity api (which would have prevented blocking ads). This is monopolistic behavior, and the largest ad company on the planet shouldn't get to decide web standards.
As a side note: both firefox and Samsung are paid handsomely (just like apple) to have Google as a default search engine. This also is monopolistic behavior, if you built a better product than them then you couldn't outspend them to get to the same position.
By the way veritasium isn't really good. I have some issues with the ways he oversimplifies but at some point you gotta and I respect that, but much worse is his inability to actually cover truth, instead choosing to only parrot what the company "graciously" hosting him told him.
That's cool, I'm glad you are making something you enjoy. The point stands that the average Joe doesn't actually seek out poetry, be it man or machine-made, and will therefore be an exceptionally poor judge of a poems quality.
I'll raise you one better: who the fuck wants poetry?
Like I know I sound like a fucking mongrel who can't appreciate art or whatever, but how many poems do you think the average person reads in their entire life? Maybe 2, for school? Poetry is just not that popular of an art form, so of course people aren't going to be good at distinguishing good from bad. Compare it to visual arts, where people have seen multiple examples, at least more than 3 times a year for their entire life, of good visual art.
It's actually pretty scary how quickly culture can devolve when the guy who signs your paycheck decides what the culture is. Most people working at valve could afford to retire if the culture got bad enough.
For a worked out example, see early Google versus modern Google.
Imo we're extremely lucky gabe isn't bobby kotick. It seems his son is not an absolute fuck, so that's good, but we'll have to see.
If you own track mania nations forever on steam, you will be unable to run it on a modern OS. You can install mods to make it work but the game is still for sale and if you're unaware the mod exists, you'll never be able to play it again
Because the entire idea of online voting is terrible and we should never ever ever do it except when it's to name a boat. This is coming from a dev and sysadmin, we are the people who know and we are telling you it's a terrible idea.
Alright then I'll do you one better:
