People are so ignorant. They are responding to increased privacy rules and regulations and trying to get off relying on ads as their only revenue driver.
It’s also a very simple way to essentially eliminate bot farms.

I actually know someone like this. Apparently Amazon and other companies were targeting ads to people that had problems to solve to get them to apply.
Happened a lot at NASA 3-5 X the pay

How much money do you think meta makes in Ethiopia and Kenya combined lol?
You realize that Facebooks entire business is ads and serving ads for fractions of a cent to poor people isn’t in their best interest as the cost per click/impression is incredibly low.

Doesn’t matter if the person has a gun or a knife.

Not worth it. It’s unfortunate but last thing you would want is to get injured or worse chasing someone that knows where you live down.
Use an Amazon locker if it’s really an issue.

It's wild you can tell people like yourself didn't even read the article. They are fixing whatever this issue is with an over the air update pushed to the cars. Meaning no one even has to bring their car in to the shop.
Basically they updated the firmware (embedded software for hardware) and then realized that the update caused other issues so they are rolling it back to the previous version essentially.

This is just wrong. The number of bots on Twitter have dropped off significantly. Sure a few people changed their handle to exploit this but all in all it was a good choice.
