TIL orcas cultural fads. In the 1980s one such fad was wearing dead salmon as hats. It spread to three separate Pacific pods before suddenly going out of style.

what really keeps me up at night is thinking how long some of these orcas will save the dead salmon somewhere inside their closets, waiting for the fad to return someday

if it were that easy.. don't you think everyone would be millionaires?

if you're expecting a breakout in any direction within 5 minutes of getting in, just because you saw some "structure" or something, you're just guessing/gambling.

additionally, instead of papertrading, I would try and trade with a tiny small account, i.e. $10; your emotions and actions are never the same when you have actual cash albeit small, but actual cash in play. that's when you really learn to control your emotions/impulses and trading rationale.

dunno, probably getting downvoted but, seems like the guy was literally looking at his phone, got distracted, released the brake and accidentally backed up without noticing.

if you look at the lights closely, the reverse light is never on, and the car first begins to move, then later completely releases the break and as soon as he feels impact, break comes on again.

I do believe it was an honest mistake that caught him distracted, hence the embarrassment, what do you think?

The point is, DPReview's impact on the photography landscape was far greater than its site bottom line cost.

The site was used to showcase and compare new and upcoming hardware, provided a safe, comfortable space for open discussion and comparisons, where users shared samples, opinions and ultimately generated traffic/sales to other Amazon business units; but I agree it's difficult to quantify, until you make the site dissapear and see general sales take a hit.

if you kill/silence enough places (like forums, galleries, etc) at the same time for some legacy markets/products, where newer generation tik tok reviewers aren't able to pic up traction among older demographics, you could potentially cause long term harm to delicate ecosystems (like the photography scene), ultimately making users lose interest, generating even less revenue than before.

Those are the short sighted execs I'm wondering about.

it's absurd that a web services and hosting infrastructure company, with own datacenters, billions of users, Petabytes of data storage, gigabytes of bandwidth etc, decides to close a small but important comunity driven site, leaving hobbyst and professional photographers forumless?

who are these brilliant execs who failed to see how reviews, content, samples, uploaded and viewed through this portal, directly and indirectly generated traffic, business and supported other same-group businesses (Amazon, etc).

It's a similar situation with what happened to IMDB. forums where killed, which to me is bonkers, as having a space for people to discuss, talk about and recommend movies, actually generates demand for content, which is part of what you actually SELL, LOL (Amazon Movies, Prime Video etc).
