☆ How Reddit Went Mainstream: Google Search Increase, Real Human Users
  + stars: | 2024-11-10 | by ( Emily Stewart | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
The search platform is prioritizing Reddit's results. Going public, for Reddit, has entailed becoming a more welcoming place for users as well as for investors, Kessler said. "If you're public and these things come out, I mean, that could start having an impact on your market cap. Just as search engine optimization operations have gotten good at gaming Google, they can likely do it on Reddit, too. It's part social media, part search engine, part just a place for real answers, or as close to real as you're going to get on the internet today.

☆ Polymarket's pro-Trump election predictions aren't so surprising when you look at the rest of the site
  + stars: | 2024-10-30 | by ( Katie Notopoulos | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The betting site Polymarket has emerged as a hot topic in the 2024 presidential race. Wagers in its pop culture section show the bro-y vibe of the site: Zyn, Andrew Tate, and Hawk Tuah. Let's look at some of the wagers:Will Trump say "skibidi" before the election? Will Donald Trump say "mog" in 2024? AdvertisementFor the record, I think the odds that Trump will say "skibidi" before the election are way too low.

☆ Sometimes to save the internet, you must eat glue
  + stars: | 2024-05-31 | by ( Katie Notopoulos | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The glue pizza search result was traced back to a comment from a Redditor who went by "fucksmith" making an obvious joke on the subreddit r/Pizza. Because I'm both brave and a genius, naturally, I had to try to make the glue pizza myself. Was Google's response to tamp down its big AI search ambitions just because a few jokesters on X made silly queries? The ridiculousness of those AI answers does call into question the entire concept of using AI for Google search results. And I like to convince myself that my eating glue pizza was part of the noise that prompted Google to act.

☆ It's not just you — the TikTok Shop will show you literally anything
  + stars: | 2024-01-11 | by ( Katie Notopoulos | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
TikTok appears to heavily promote videos and livestreams that use Shop — even if what's on sale is junk. AdvertisementIf you've noticed your "For You" page on Tiktok has become overrun with posts and livestreams of TikTok Shop items you have little interest in, you're not alone. The TikTok Shop hard launched this fall. And unlike the regular FYP, which has an uncanny ability to predict what content you'll love, the TikTok Shop has a way of showing you stuff you don't love. That explains a lot about why your feed may be flooded with live streams and Shop posts for stuff as junky as a used pencil.

☆ Tech Companies Are Ruining Their Apps, Websites, Internet
  + stars: | 2023-03-27 | by ( Ed Zitron | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
Google, Amazon, Meta, and other tech companies have monetized confusion, constantly testing how much they can interfere with and manipulate users. Abandoning the core productIn the 2000s and early 2010s, tech companies actually produced new, interesting products. This fueled Silicon Valley's explosive growth: Companies saw their valuations soar, revenue growth was exponential, and new users were joining by the boatload. There are ways to integrate new technology into a core product that doesn't end in disaster. Netflix was able to iterate on their core product — letting people watch movies — in a way that actually made that experience better.
