I read it but honestly, probably 80% of the time I do not. Because articles are very often full of pop ups and ads and tracking and paywalls, and are unnecessarily verbose (most can be summarized in 1-2 sentences), and are just republishing someone else's work while adding nothing, and simultaneously devoid of useful information or any actual sources.

I’ve just discovered this interesting concept called “reading the article”

What dark magic is this

This here is an excellent guide:

Wow you were not kidding. Some of them are extra awkward and unnatural too, it's almost a parody of what slop text looks like.

We believe people should have more control over what they see — and more transparency about the information in front of them.

An early illustration of the idea — you decide how much low-trust noise reaches your feed:

"I just watched movie. It sucked!"

"Beep boop. According to trustworthy, verifiable sources, movie does not suck. Sanction : immediate ban."

AI is very good at classification

Same. I’m not calling you cheap. I’m pointing out that saying $20 to pop a Nazi’s balloon shouldn’t be an offensive ask.

Let them eat eachother.

I assume he got rich how most people get rich, luck and being a sociopath.

A lot of it has to do with over-promising and under-delivering. The rest is marketing.

I personally believe the cybertruck was a designer who was making fun of musk. He submitted a pinewood derby car he made when he was 7.

Its the literal emperors new clothes.

Every one of these symbols goes before the number: $€£¥₹

Where are you from where it comes after? What currency do you use?

The only time this comes after the number, that I am aware of, is when you use abbreviations like USD or EUR instead of the symbol.

Where are you from? In English it's always the case that you put the dollar sign before the number.

I understand that it’s different in other languages, but I often see this behavior from native US Americans who only speak English.

Hence the underline under the 00 cents/pence on a check/cheque.

Yes, it’s relevant in this day and age, because it’s still incorrect to do it the other way (at least in English and with $£¥ and a couple others, as another commenter pointed out).

When I read “20$” my first thought is that the person writing it didn’t pay attention in elementary school.

And being lenient about it on the web leads to the behavior leaking into the real world on things like shop signs.

Don’t even get me started on people who (mostly IRL) write things like “0.99¢” which makes me want to give them a cent and tell them to keep the change.
