#Bank #Shilling has 2nd meaning as "Shilling" !

Shilling also means "Act as a shill":
A Shill = A decoy who acts as an enthusiastic customer in order to stimulate the participation of others

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilling

#Shilling is not just a word for #Crypto #Currency advocates

#Cryptocurrency might not that much worse than real coins minted and paper/plastic notes minted constantly while #Banks de-value / inflate it...

#Invidious #software pages filters out the bad stuff from exactly same video page.
De-google alternative #server links to Google YouTube videos:

SAME video pages but adverts are filtered.

Invidious = Alternative servers and software to filter the bad code out.

Good idea to use these servers instead of youtube.com direct links... just use any server above.

Life is about first getting into things,
and then getting out*.

If the $tate is corrupt - then is all else is too (from supermarkets to hospitals).

Need to close* these chapters in history...

* or undo / unsubscribe / dis-connect / reduce communication etc

I honestly think a lot of that is true AND people want that. More than ever I'm sure more and more people want things like this - where it doesn't make sense but they like it / want it (and this has been the problem too - not just companies making crap but people actively buying it!)

Human condition is not as logical or clear... or it is but in a very illogical / un-clever way...

A graphic showing a man, wearing a #suit, slumped at his #computer with a spider’s web surrounding him, depicting how easy it is to get caught up in #superannuationlies and scams online.

(*) superannuation = being out of date and not current (in this context (I think... as it has more than 1 meaning)

@greenpete Interesting point.

Was thinking at the same time that 'as usual' things do happen over time or they were always about profit just on a smaller scale before - now just a monster version with different levels of it in the modern day (cut-throat) business (that was always there, state being the constant root usually).

So it was always "business" #extraction / #domination / extended #monopoly of #extraction... though not everyone as a business had access or dreams of it that way... but over time everyone learned all the other #business tricks and used even more tools that kind of messed up their #customers and consumers (we were always both even in uneven levels) with how everything it because too #efficient or #redirected or #impersonal / #imported etc...

I think major steps to what you said and what I say here were something like:

2000s = Broadband mass-installed by state / companies. Exploration and habits change.

2008 = Major Banks crash / bail-outs + effects after happen...

20?? = Less variation of jobs / cuts in funding by state for "non-essentials" (like a "poor artists" type thing where main tree of funding is constantly cut / isn't there any more making people more dependent or somehow funneling them)

2010 = Social media really kicking in / dominating even resistant / distant countries

2020 COVID as a kind of forced #consumption / paying themselves to cause more risk / experiment #damage [=more #business] - and masks / vaccines as basic

2020+ Various wars (economic also) as part of pulling people's taxes in and overall focus as country to generally go to war (price war, arms, anything).

Just a quick reply (saw you didn't have any - or did you get some response?)

It's interesting but overall always we were customers and consumers - just we locked in a lot more which also ties into people...

An image of a smashed phone is the background to a quote from Amnesty International's Breaking Up With Big Tech report, which reads:

"Big Tech’s dominance can lead to devastating consequences for marginalized communities.

Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube have become primary gateways to news and public discourse. Their algorithmic systems – optimized for engagement and profit – have been shown to amplify harmful content which elicits a stronger reaction from users and keeps us online longer, allowing these companies to collect more data on us and serve us more adverts.In an increasingly polarized context, this can contribute to the rapid spread of discriminatory speech and even incitement to violence – which has had devastating consequences in several crisis and conflict-affected areas."
