A 1.2 rating sounds bad …

Do you see the pH scale and go “hmm, a pH of 1 seems bad”?

It’s always remarkable to me when people feel the need to attach their approval or judgment to things they have absolutely zero clue about — despite the answer being a cursory Google search away.

Here’s a current list of of the top-10 Nielsen-rated programs as of last week:

1	NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL       9.6
2	SUNDAY NIGHT NFL PRE-KICK	6.9
3	60 MINUTES	                6.8
4	MNF ON ABC (BUF AT NYJ)	        6.7
5	FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA PT 3	5.2
6	MON NIGHT KICKOFF	        4.7
7	YELLOWSTONE 1	                4.1
8	AMERICA'S GOT TALENT-TUE	3.4
9	AMERICA'S GOT TALENT-WED	3.0
10	FOOTBALL NIGHT IN AMERICA PT 2	2.2

The tenth-most-watched program had a score of 2.2.

Your entire argument applies to books as well.

It’s a bad argument.

I’ve actually noticed this too.

Upon asking what the deal is, I’m often met with an “I like when creators get paid” which is righteous but misguided, or “I don’t care about the ads”, which is baffling.

If your post is hidden within seconds, it’s automod getting it most likely. Being hid from a channel by the creator means your comment just never shows up, even in their notification feed.

What you’re talking about has absolutely nothing to do with any of the points I’ve made.

Please stop typing.

That has absolutely nothing to do with what I’ve just described.

Again, this isn’t YouTube removing his comments. His comments are not being deleted. OP was simply “hid from channel” by the creator. I don’t know how else I can explain this, short of recording a video of my YouTube channel as I shadowban a commenter.

YouTube does delete comments. But this isn’t that. When YT deletes your comments you can no longer see it in even on your account.

This was a hard post to read.

You’re not shadowbanned from YouTube. The creator you’re commenting on has simply “hid” you from their channel. Which ironically is a shadowban, just on a creator level.

The level of panic and outrage you’ve displayed here despite not having a clue as to how the mechanic you’re discussing works is remarkable.

Most excellent.

Are we under any impression that this will have long-term support? Or just a novelty to enjoy while it’s here?

Y’know, I read that entire thread, and it really doesn’t come across as you’re representing it.

The mods are spitting rage over there. They’re outright insulting every aspect of reddit. I feel like focusing on the idea that because they made a post there they must still be active users is a stretch and unfair.

Of course, we know too many people still use the site. But it’s hard for me to get on board with a blanket “fuck the mods” based on that thread alone.

Quiche in a pan. Nothing to see here.

“It just works (with limited compatibility)”

“It just works”

Describing the various ways in which you mitigated the intrusiveness of reddit’s awards is not exactly corroborating your argument that the awards were fine. I’m also struggling to see the symbolic value of a badge that indicates you paid the administrators. The award system did not build upon the original sorting mechanism of upvotes in any meaningful way.

I know the timing lends itself to dogpiling, but honestly? Good for them. Throughout the fog, reddit made a solid choice - awards and coins were absolutely fucking stupid. I had posted regularly on reddit since 2011 or so. The coin shit distracted from the original sorting system - upvotes/downvotes.

Of course, hindsight belies that even that algorithm was bullshit the entire time. Alas, fuck reddit. Good riddance.

It’s the latter.

Emotionally oxymoronic?

If you’re able to link them here (still learning) I will add them to the sidebar. “bugs” on lemmy.world will just be a mostly fluffy place for pretty pictures and quick IDs so it would be epic to be able to point people towards more scientific or specialized communities!
