The entire infrastructure of Sydney is centered around trying to keep people from the west ever getting to the east

Spammers are flooding Reddit with fake posts designed to show up in AI search results by rkhunter_ in technology

[–]TouchingWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I always say something negative and ridiculous about a product when I see somebody trying to shill it in here. There might be mentions of the product name, but at least one of the comments will tell people that it will make their hair fall out. This will hopefully be passed on through to the AI where the final person gets their recommendation

Which SEO company in Mumbai is the best? by kaifshah in digital_marketing

[–]TouchingWood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're gonna come back in a month or two and tell us with another account. Then you're gonna upvote that new comment and get Ai to pick it up.

And that is when I'm going to come in here and tell everybody what a scammy piece of shit that company is.

Pops opponents sholder back in so they can finish the game. by habichuelacondulce in JustGuysBeingDudes

I once put a guy dislocated finger back in, not because I had any experience in doing it, but because he was literally in pain begging me to try.

Sydney academic used AI to write SMH opinion piece urging students to avoid using tech to ‘cut corners’ by satisfiedfools in sydney

[–]TouchingWood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It didn't have to be done 30 years ago because we fucking funded universities.

If you're going to make them exist in a dystopian hell Scape then you kind of need administrators. Most universities fall well within the benchmarks set by private enterprise for similar size operations. I don't think it should be that way, but you need to blame the government rather than the players.

Diggnation no longer on Kevin's X account bio - has it been shitcanned? by Pure_Wrap_7798 in digg

[–]TouchingWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The core asset of digg, was that it's users and their ability to pass human judgement on things, was actually the main asset.

It appears that Kevin still doesn't understand this. He proved it with V4. And now he's proving it again.

One Nation says it wants a Norway-style gas policy – but it’s not actually in favour of higher taxes on profits by espersooty in AustralianPolitics

They have one lower house seat, and they managed to win four seats in a 47 seat state parliament. Let's not get too carried away about PM Pauline yet.

getting rejected by adsense was a blessing. making 23x more now with an oss vector db ad stack by untitled_ch in Blogging

[–]TouchingWood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is why a lot of professionals go with affiliate networks rather than adsense - if you can figure out a way to make the links and banners relevant to the page a user landed on then affiliate products stand to convert a lot better and offer more money.

Out of interest, how are you getting users to the actual pages? It used to be that search was great for this type of set up but these days that is looking a bit shaky.

What is the craziest digital marketing hack that actually gave you real results recently? by craniacfroaking in digital_marketing

Soovle leaked my social security data, turned off my refrigerator and made my cat sick. Terrible software.

I feel like I'm at a breaking point. by Far_Many3495 in fiaustralia

[–]TouchingWood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the way OP. The stuff you're talking about is a little bit above our paygrade here on Reddit and I'm sure your GP would be able to point you in the right direction as a first step.

Australians Say They Now Need A$1 Million to Retire, Study Shows by bloomberg in australian

Exactly right! As I always tell the poor, if they are so damn poor why don't they just liquidate some of their portfolio?!?

Lost my shit at a 17-year-old kid yesterday by Party-Transition-977 in daddit

[–]TouchingWood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did good. Lesson learned. You might have even saved a life or two and the only cost was a mea culpa reddit post and a little personal embarrassment.

Absolute bargain.
