@Owlor @iyashikei_kris all I can see is that #YouTube constantly tries to shove #Disinformation and #Propaganda into my face despite refusing to make an account (because I know from others that if I were to make an account, it wouldn't matter anyway as it'll disregard that one actively went out of one's way to block said channels and accounts!)

• Seriously, I'm looking whether I can find an Addon that I can just give a link to a video (i.e. the suggested #RageBait / #ClickBait / #Hatespeech) and it'll automatically find the channel, block it and remove any content of said channel from my feed and suggestions or at least CCS-editing that out on the fly...
  • Without a YouTube account!

What is surveillance-fascism?
(a.k.a. what is the Fediverse missing?)

* big data
(collection of tons of private data used for profiling and authoritarian control)
* attention harvesting
(reducing attentionspan and causing addiction)
* ragebaiting
(hatred boosting alorithms & government botfarms)
* hyper-capitalism
(ads, more ads, profit, hidden ads, influencers, interrupting ads, plugs, camoflaged ads)
* AI

@moranaga Nein, ich würde nur gewisse Mechaniken von #AmtisocialMedia verbieten, wie Endlos-Scolling, Glücksspielmechaniken sowie #Ragebait und #Clickbait und andere Methoden die nur darauf abzielen, #Screentime zu maximieren!

• Bspw.: Algorithmische Reichweitenstärkung von Inhalten Dritter sowie Werbung.

OMG! human dog hybrids roaming the countryside! And they are..... HOMICIDAL!

@tagesschau dass ist doch nur #Generationenneid und #Cyberfaschismus, dabei wären #DarkPatterns wie #InfiniteScrolling, #ClickBait, #RageBait und vorallem #Glücksspiel-Mechaniken generell zu verbieten.

• Alles andere dient nur dazu, zu verhindern dass #Jugendliche sich Gehör und #Plattform verschaffen oder organisieren.
  • Siehe @fff …

@stefanmuelller ja, aber das liegt daran dass gewisse #DarkPattern wie #Reizflutung, #InfiniteScrolling, #ClickBait, #RageBait und #Glücksspielmechaniken nicht verboten sind!

Time for some #RageBait
I just stumbled upon this illustration on a website.
Triggered much, fellow type designer?

My (probably naive) prediction:

The first #video website that bans #clickbait, #ragebait, #AI slop and #ads will replace #YouTube.

#Internet #web

In my ongoing struggle to reclaim my attention, avoid rage bate and enshitified platforms I'm back on mastodon. I gave Blue Sky a solid try but for me it still ended up being a long stream of politics. Mastodon feels more like home so here I am again moved from infosec.exchange over to mastodon.social. Hello again #fediverse !

But before anyone rages about this screenshot now, please watch @pid_eins great presentation from FOSDEM this year in full first: https://mastodon.social/@pid_eins/116014402628645349

@witchgirls it's intentional #RageBait, and that is the problem!

@ity @condret my criticism is not re: software versions in detail, but rather that many benchmarking and comparison videos are either using unrealistic high-end setups the average #WageWorker can't afford and/or are setup as #RageBait content!

• With #Greedflation kicking into higher gear than ever in our lifetimes up to this point, more #LowSpecGaming & #BudgetBuilds should be accounted for, espechally when a modern "midrange" PC can cost more than a brand-new 50cm³ scooter…

@qgustavor @fluffykittycat @eff There is no way to "verify age" without basically self-doxxing.

• The only solution to that problem is either ban #AntisocialMedia (or rather the #antisocial aspects designed to maximize #screentime, incite emoptional reations [#RageBait] as well as #Ads and #Algorithms that are "skinnering " users into abusive patterns by exploiting #Gambling and other mechanics against them.

But since #regulation won't happen (instead only #Cyberfascism would), the only feasible option is to teach #TechLiteracy & #MediaLiteracy and get people off #CorporateAntisocialMediaPlatforms!

@fluffykittycat @etchedpixels @doboprobodyne still, #Algorithms that reward #RageBait and other shit to maximize screentime should be outlawed!

@Unixbigot @acollierastro #Ragebait works! Wie kann man Professor werden und gleichzeitig so doof sein? 🙄

@lipow @fraunora nickt zustimmend

Ich habe fast das Gefühl dass solche Programme insgeheim auf #RageBait setzen!
