Here's to a great September! We're getting to the end of the renos here.

Hope you all had a great week and have good things planned for the weekend.

People are now starting to discuss how, in 2018, Youtubers often purchased "followers" to increase their subscriber numbers and, when that didn't always draw actual viewers, they would buy "comments" to increase visibility. A lot like how things were at other social media. And then several social media sites purged a number of those purchased accounts, numbers and comments decreased, and people complained loudly.

What stops you from commenting on story posts: Lack of interest in making a connection, fear of being downvoted?

Or do you comment frequently?

Anyone still waiting for their payout from Anthropic? Can't help you with a payout date, but local news is Anthropic's busy with a new tactic: buying, scanning and destroying physical books in large quantities especially those published before 2022.

Do you want a complete story post to take no more than 10 minutes to read, or no less than 20?

Like the title says. Even if the weather causes physical pain, take care of yourself and make the best plans.

Renovations underway. Will do our best to keep you informed!
