Tbh. This took waaay longer than i expected. They bought it con 2014. I didn't even know a company was capable of holding its enshitification tendencies that long

A dead Nazi?

A programa would be a better venture capitalist than a human. If there are no other jobs there will be no vibe coders because no one is paying you to make a site because no one has a busines

I have the theory that they are playing a mix between pump and dump and shorting. Where they borrow actions, sell them, say something dumb to make it drop, they buy and give back

Pretending to be racist is just as bad

Found a paper about it

What did you do to get banned BTW?

Those devices may have a fingerprint. A lot devices can be uniquely identified. Here is an example that I read a long time ago so it might be wrong or I might not remember correctly.

Your phone has a gyroscope, compass and accelerometer. Those tools are not perfect. Your compass does not point straight north, so it has to be calibrated. That calibration produces like a 6digits offset (0.739842). If you look at all the calibration numbers for a device you get a number that is basically unique for each phone. So even if you used different networks, they can still know that you used a device that you had previously used or associated with you account somehow. That's why brave is an important step in what I said.

Unbanned? No.

Make a new account? Maybe. But I don't really know. I'd try with a paid VPN, and brave browser private window ( some time ago I tested brave, Firefox and chrome for fingerprinting, and brave gave good results out of the box)

The thing is that you (probably) made not effort to hide your identity. The people that make the bots, use all of them

For you the process is :They banned one of your accounts. That account last logged in from IP A. Right after that, someone using that IP is making a new account. Probably same person. Banned again

For the bots, at a minimum is: they just banned and account. That account always logs in using a very popular VPN. Their browser is non fingerprintable. We can't just ban any new accounts created from that VPN. Registration allowed. (Probably show a captcha)

I feel like owning expensive stuff like that is non optional for the very rich. Those who answer things like "my phone already does that" do sound poor. They don't buy it because they need the time. They buy it because it looks nice and is expensive.

I think I would make a disgusted face and say something like "really? It doesn't look like it. What brand is it?"

Not really a cross over, but I just finished prodigy (I'm trying to watch it all) and at one point, one of the protagonists says "all of this timy wimy stuff makes my head hurt

Whats your point?
