The reality is that it’s probably much easier than you might think.

Sharing torrents in a private group is a zero sum game. Ideally you have everyone with a 1:1 ratio but if some users go far above that they are taking ratio from other users who might be fully willing to provide upload, but simply didn’t get there in time. You can set torrents to close after they reach a specific ratio, but that also means bringing down the availability of that torrent.

Also, it’s much harder to get to a 1:1 ratio if you only download less popular content because no one will download it from you for a long while.

Most of the time those professors make next to nothing from you buying the book. Unless it’s their direct commercial product, they’re getting screwed just like you are.

You’re attributing combative interaction to an algorithm on a site that has no algorithm. Congratulations you just proved the algorithm isnt needed to cause interaction. People do this with no computer forcing them to, but tons of people here are convinced that every other site is filled with bots manipulating content for people when the people are asking for the content, sometimes very directly.

And you’re the one doing it all, not a computer. the computer is not that smart, you need to tell it what you want to see.

The fact that the user is the one imputing the data to determine the received content in some way. You’re selecting the content you interact with, not a black box trying to take over the population. They just want you to stay on the site, look at the ads, and never leave. They don’t care about your political allegiance or what movies you like, they will feed you whatever you want.

No one forces you to engage in arguments on Reddit or Twitter. You have autonomy over who you interact with on both sites. You’re not being forced or manipulated to do anything. If you engage in this these things people perceive as negative, it’s because you choce to do it of your own free will.

There is no truth to it. The vast majority of negative interactions and aberations on a social media site is brought about by the users, not by the operators of the site. These tools they have are not as powerful as you think they are. The only reason they have any power at all is because the users give them that power because that is what they want. You don’t have a successful site by manipulating the user base to do what you want them to do, they will just leave. You simply give them what they want and they never leave. “The algorithm” is there to give the user what they want, and they’re actually really bad at doing that.

Can someone explain to me why everyone on this site thinks that everything bad about other social media sites is somehow being forced upon the users to enslave them to “the algorithm”? It’s like socialist Qanon.

oka. explain how you centralize governmental control of the economy without enabling the government to profit from it.

you’re an idiot lol.

you people genuinely think that the bots are the ones having these arguments?

Host it? Not hard. Not have it botted to shit? Very hard.

Dude, you downvoted 5 posts about the several different things happening with blizzard this week. Turns out, blizzard is in the news a lot this week for various reasons all centered around OW2. If you could stop and think for yourself you would have never made this post and would probably be much happier.

When you guys want to talk about how lemmy is better than reddit, remember this post. This is the content people here upvotes. It’s just as bad and inane as reddit because people don’t change!

No it isn’t, it’s the scapegoat to distract from your biased sexism.

thats not the scenario.

dude, if you date someone who owns a house, then live in that house, you are dating the landlord and they are allowed to charge you rent.
