  • Here’s the real kicker. Most algorithms don’t actually differentiate content based on words outside of flagging them to be removed or age restricted. On Twitter or facebook, censoring words has never done anything, but everyone was so convinced that it did, they invented this method of getting around censors that don’t exist. I think it was cnet who just started removing old content so that Google would promote their newer content more, then a Google engineer come out and said that it’s never filtered content based on how “fresh” the sites back catalog is. People though links in tweets would supreas the tweet until one of their devs said it was bunk too.

    Turns out, people make shit up to make sense of what they don’t understand. God will I guess lol.
















  • Sharing torrents in a private group is a zero sum game. Ideally you have everyone with a 1:1 ratio but if some users go far above that they are taking ratio from other users who might be fully willing to provide upload, but simply didn’t get there in time. You can set torrents to close after they reach a specific ratio, but that also means bringing down the availability of that torrent.

    Also, it’s much harder to get to a 1:1 ratio if you only download less popular content because no one will download it from you for a long while.
