Sorry but, 4chan account? There's no such thing as that.

Not denying that Muskrat did this, but there's no such thing as an account on that site.

Yep and even better than that; most if not all residential ISPs use Carrier-grade NAT so one IP (which changes), now represents hundreds if not tens of thousands of their customers.

At the very best, you could maybe narrow an IP to a very vague geographical area like several suburbs, or a specific town maybe.

Call me a child, but peas are gross. The rest looks fantastic though.

Self promotion is a form of advertising, doubly so if it's done for the purpose of attracting revenue via some means. People can opt into it if they want via subscribing/following but it's still advertising.

So yes most "authentic" content is just people advertising themselves. I would prefer not to see that unless I have opted into it.

That's still an ad, you want money for a product you're offering. The only difference is in your case there's an extra step between impression and conversion.

I'd prefer for my social media to not be full of ads for "content".

“How would you have felt yesterday if you hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch?”

It should be text only, purely factual, and very limited.

“We are blah, selling blah for $x, at $location”

My grandpa used to tell ugly people (and me) that “You’ve got a head like a half sucked mango” - he was right on the money I think.

You feel wrong, unfortunately.

Australian here; I much prefer living away from cities. I like having a big house on a big block with lots of nature and as few other people around me as possible.

The catch is while the housing and land is wayyyy cheaper, other stuff is more expensive and inconvenient. The biggest thing people don’t consider is trades people; you’ll have plumbers, sparkies etc just refuse to even come out when they find out you’re more than half an hour away from civilisation, and if they do come out they charge for the travel.

For the 99.99% of people that don’t make software that can kill people, OPs post is true.

No one cares if “uber but for X” has some downtime because some dingus forgot what a linked list is.
