Comment social media feeds are dead "ad feeds" anyway. (Score 1) 154

I knew Facebook has been restricting pages non-advertised posts for a while now but now they're testing to remove them once in for all and create 2 feeds. Meaning your main feed will have ads and friends posts only. I don't know if this has been shared but here For me this is bullshit. It already means social media feeds are dying because they're literally becoming ad spots. Instagram is the same, it doesnt allow company accounts to be shown in feed unless they pay for it. I don't believe there will be a kill switch for users to stop it either if you want to use fb you will have to go through ads.

I have to disagree on "we all have our cameras they're pretty easy to use" I personally saw Spectacles as a more fun and more "social" and actually more fashionable way of gopros. they actually warn people around if theyre recording since they have blinking light but 1st not everyone has to know and second first news I read after they've became available was "how to hide the record light". For me this is a situation of we are the reason we cant have nice things. this was same with google glasses, creeps recording everything. and in google glasses case, those are just INSANELY obvious.

Same thing here. They made it too inclusive and thought people are gonna chase after them forever. They were cool but not cool enough to make me check every 2 days if there is a place nearby. Took way too long for them to make it online.PLUS came to Europe waaay later. I've just realized it is available online now. And even if it is available language is geo-based and you're not allowed to change. not everybody lives in US and not everybody speaks the language of the country they live in. ux fail for sure.

Submission + - Could Cryptocurrency kill online advertising? (linkedin.com) 1

phonewebcam writes: Far from being a new form of malware, could it turn out users actually prefer to trade a little CPU time to website owners in favor of them not showing ads? Slashdot covered the downside of this recently, with even Cristiano Ronaldo's official site falling victim, but that may not be the full story. This could be an ideal win-win situation, except for one huge downside — the current gang of online advertisers. Of course Google are already looking into controlling it, with a permission based system to start off with whilst letting 3rd party Chrome extensions take the strain for now. Adblockers are looking to extend their functionality to include AntiMining, too.
