Reddit claims they didn’t and don’t have to.

There is chatroulette.

I have an FB account from 2010 that I didn’t sign into for 2-3 years. I tried and they wanted me to send them my driver’s license… uh, no. Sillier thing is I have a linked instagram account I have signed into every week or two with no problems.

if he somehow turned it into a legitimized escort service, that would be actually useful to society, other than that he would be the one running it so it would be corrupt af and detrimental to society.

it’s every app in existence!! That means it will be worth every other app x 10!!

That’s what I mean.

At least they’re telling you. There’s also a lot of hidden surveillance in stores - they’ve done it with Bluetooth and cameras for some time. Things like monitoring how long you look at products and evaluating your reactions to displays.

Sure, and instead of credit cards, the store can just write down on an index card that I owe them $60. Anyway, the idea is a level of automation exceeding what they had in Sumeria 7,000 years ago.

Some established, legitimate artists have been selling NFTs with their originals. But sure, overall, like crypto in general, the field is filled with scammers and get-rich-quick schemes.
I know someone who is a painter who for some reason decided to try selling NFTs a couple of months ago (I pointed out it was a bit late…). The only responses on opensea and Instagram she received were from scammers, trying to pull a “my payment didn’t work, you need to manually approve it” scheme to try to steal her credentials.

The concept of a certificate of authenticity for digital goods that can be traded isn’t inherently terrible.

Perhaps they’d have retained value if they had been attached to quality art rather than awful-looking algorithmically generated complete trash.

Apparently it’s based on, according to their FAQ, previous records and “extrapolated extension user behavior.” We’d have no idea if it’s really accurate. I can’t imagine that a vast amount of people are using the extension, and also, that the behavior of people who choose to use the extension reflects the tastes of the YouTube public at large.

I thought it was just to make songs sound more exciting. Anyway, I’d rather read it.

Thanks, reading it is much better then having some read it to me slowly.

I thought YouTube doesn’t show a dislike count anymore… where did you see that?

It’s difficult to display an image without the client knowing the URL, but it would be possible to use a temporary URL that only works for that signed-in user.

I think that’s the best solution. I can’t see a reason any client couldn’t upload the image when the post is submitted. Currently the uploader is some fancy javascript deal and it’s unnecessary.

S3 is expensive, while if you use a third party like img.bb or imgur, you never know when they will close, accidentally lose your data, or decide to delete it.

Yeah, this is only if what OP was saying was a real legal threat, which I don’t think it is.

That is essentially what I was saying. It does seem like it would take a scripting element in addition to SQL.
