    I think I’m miscommunicating it. You know how sometimes you feel as though you understand a topic until you have to explain it? :D

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5lqJF5BTvo (40minutes)

    This video talks about it.

    He talks about a Discord server where they pay people to do it. Not like editors or employees which are perfectly fine and make sense, but to hire other people to do it:

    https://discord.com/invite/clipping

    If you clip their stuff they’ll you via their campaigns through that Discord server. It’s to game the algorithm to make people think that other people are really interested in this to push them up the charts.

    He brings up a good point in the video where he talks about how this should be considered advertising as opposed to natural content and labelled as such but laws around this are not clear.

    Yup. It came out that Clavicular has been funded by Peter Thiel. I was watching a guy do a marketing breakdown of a “clip farms”. Where top streamers pay people to clip their videos and upload them to flood the algorithm. PirateSoftware, Asmongold … like a lot of streamers use this service to surface to the top.

    I think he did a breakdown of Clavicular and he was like, someone has poured a lot of money into getting this guy noticed.


  • Not gonna lie, you’re right … I’ve been stopping. I only recently bought my house and it was my brother’s old house and he was watering it a lot, but at least he’s been doing it at night. The weeds on my lawn are greener than the grass itself which is what changed my mind …

    Oh sorry, it’s a common thing in my area that that’s a sarcastic response. I thought you baited me.

    I read it wrong. Apologies.

    Anyways, I was entirely serious … it’s a weird feature to put into a controller but I get the nerd factor appeal of it. I can’t confirm it first hand though, I’m waiting to get my hands on one.

    I spent a shitload on buying TV shows and movies on Google. Then I moved back to Canada from the UK and my library is fucked (lost some movies and shows). Google also doesn’t let me play it on 1080P or 4K on my browsers despite paying for it. They said they understand the pain and whatever they did didn’t work.

    Yeah I had enough of this shit.
