bugbear

Ah yes, I’ve noticed lots of SEO consultant companies are trying to pivot into “we’ll help you to make AI scrape your website more so you show up in the AI search”.

I hadn’t seen the study before, thanks. That’s what I expected, honestly. I guess you could argue they are still building brand awareness, because people subconsciously note the brand as the source, but I don’t think that amounts to much.

Oh, definitely. They are reinventing the old portals concept. That’s why I don’t think Reddit actually wants to encourage the scraping (partly also because they sell data themselves to build LLM, but that’s another thing)

Are there any statistics on how many LLM chatbot users actually click on the source links?

The question was why more people don’t use Firefox. I answered.

have you heard of inference?

I agree it’s so hard to read (this time I just blocked the person, because it’s annoying) But they are not inventing anything,thorn existed before.

Not trying to make anyone change their web browser, so we all good.

I don’t really care. :)

Edit: There are other options than just Chrome and Firefox even without the forks. Most people just don’t wanna use them.

Source for that please? First time hearing that.

Edit: and web search didn’t give me any relevant results

no, but we weren’t talking about that. the topic was “why more people don’t use Firefox” I’m replying to you in Librewolf. I still don’t have to like Firefox, nor recommend it to people at this point.

pro-AI for starters, lots of people aren’t happy with that. (this is related to the AI, but started long before then: ) their insistence on focusing on anything else but the actual browser, Firefox also occasionally changes (privacy related) settings after upgrade (Edit: as reported by users online) or when they installed extensions remotely to people’s browsers as part of some kind of promo (I believe it was Mr. Robot?).

There might be more, but this is what I can think of from the top of my head.

Edit: typos

whataboutism? two competing companies can be bad

but those terms come from TikTok in the first place

yeah, no. credit score is very much a thing in Europe. good for you, though.

and how many videos critical of China do you watch daily?

is it illegal to not host content critical of China in EU? otherwise local laws are irrelevant.

lots of people don’t like the direction the company is heading

I don’t know specifics about pictures about video, but considering I get data protection notice just so they can process my basic information when dealing with NHS, I imagine this is an offence that could make the doctor easy to sue over this.
