personal robots.txt style disallow rules that platforms can choose to honor?

any thoughts by game production managers on the success of the battle royale concept? anything we should take away for other products?

interesting author never considers getting help for art and marketing.

"that the existence of government is just one small part."

I dont think you can qualify government as "just one small part". America would not be in the same place today without the decisions taken over time by its leaders. The same decisions would not be made under a different system of incentives for a leader like a monarchy/anarchy

If George Washington declared himself king, you might be looking today at 30% unemployment like some of the euros

you're implying that coercing major companies is easier than few hours researching vulnerabilities?

Are you providing a paid service? privacy, tos, faq, help, about us, our mission, etc etc pages can help to confirm your authenticty to someone who intends to buy.

Cookie layer is mandatory in the EU

Shower thought.. what about a keyboard with an application launcher inside it?

That's flawed logic. Your users are telling you they can't tell apart merchant/platform so you should build on top of that and assume they won't know that you're not PayPal

Dev logic, not how most of us are thinking

WordPress is used for tons of affiliate sites :) you're on the right path.

This is a "yes but" kind of post ( i feel ). Executing a large product can often require several project managers reporting to a product owner. It's not product vs project.

Depends how you pay the company as I wrote above. If you're just a poor single man op you share revenue and that company becomes your partner

The dev would presumably pay through revenue share, because we already established s/he is poor, making a jv where the marketing provider will ask for many adjustments from the dev because they need results fast. It's not a clear cut provider/client relationship and I'm not sure how many devs would choose to pursue this

I honestly don't think this will be very easy to achieve on a human level. There are plenty of platforms that allow devs to meet sales partners but most people would rather just go at it alone or don't trust others or don't play well with others etc etc. Even the author of this piece, who testifies to poverty, chooses to ask for global donations rather than seek out a business partner

As an Israeli gaming pm I think this niche as well as other gambling related activities like affiliates are a product of a lack of "resources". too many want web businesses, and too few get funding or help. It's easy to re skin gambling solutions and get started with a working business and the mission to convert as many leads as possible. Most of these "businesses" are tiny (4-6 workers) and are not yet at the point where morality beats "let's put food on the table and grow the business guys!"

do the simplest solution for you(probably static), then expand it if you want

I'd learn how to update that AI to work instead of me :)

UX orgasm, very powerful with very few elements

They seem to have some sort of system where dirt cheap shit quality products ignoring international copyright laws, are pushed by assembly line workers wearing no safety gear and dying from poisoning, to consumers who then have no legal recourse when a significant portion of the products they buy fail

When government isn't involved a "dysfunctional" organization will sell you air and tell you its medicine because there's no regulator checking him.

Its like people are aching to be poisoned and die

Ifreakingrock! instead of ifreakingrock, inputted by you with some meaning to you, is far easier to remember than "Yz52356Dde.."

don't think anything is done, people will continue to create better mouse traps in every field.

Next in social networks could be more interaction options that will deliver new kinds of "fun" between people

really?

Because websites want customers to remember their passwords and come back to the service.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Think in steps. Get 10 users, make em happy. Ask yourself how to get to 50, if no answer look at possible marketing campaign, open sourcing is one option for a marketing campaign

get users

Is anyone using what you created? You didnt mention users or any human interest in what youre building

I think you are reacting like this because you're over using the medium(the web). For the average person its nice that their family's videos autoplay and autoloop without having to do something. Video and sound are big parts of the experience, which happens to not fit a certain advanced user group like you.

So a browser setting would work but not disable for all

CRM administration for example. Excel mastery is generally the entry point into those teams (from my experience)
