A LOT of people out there just read whatever tho google AI tells them on their search. They've been trained that the answer is always the 1st non-ad link on Google. And now the thing at the top of a Google search is their LLM answer.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't do what you do. You just asked why someone would be against doing an image post when it could be a text post and I answered.
What you are doing cannot be done with text posts because of reason 2 and 3.
It's a hyperbole. It's not unethical. But many people don't like it/hate it.
An image is just more expensive than text. Text is usually ~1 byte per character. An uncompressed image is ~3bytes per pixel. Of course, most images are compressed, and compression does a lot of heavy lifting. But still. Also, you don't need to uncompress plain text. More amount of bytes means more storage expense, more network expense, and worse user experience due to latency.
We have plenty of tools that work for text. You can copy-paste it. You can easily edit it with just a keyboard. It is easily configurable via fonts and font sizes.
Accessibility: text can be read by screen readers. Images (without alt text) cannot. Maybe there are some fancy screen readers that OCR images, but then it's the case of point 1.
Text is easily indexable. Which means that it's searchable. If the reddit search tool were any good, it could find the post. Not for images. Alternatively, 3rd party search tools such as google and DDG work.
Nobody is going to become that rich out of skill/hard work/intelligence. The level of wealth we are talking here is only obtainable via the exploitation of others.
We are not talking about a highly skilled surgeon that saves many lives earning some hundred thousands per year. There are people out there that earn millions per month.
And you're not leaving the rich people unaffected. You are taxing them. As I said, tax the businesses with huge profits, to support entrepreneurs in case their business fail, in order to have more entrepreneurs that can actually compete with the multimillion companies that do nothing but enshittify their products and underpay their workers.
What a bad take. Notepad was never meant to have formatting, as the post states. Notepad's purpose was to open war text files as raw text. For formatted text, there was WordPad. What made notepad great is that it was the fastest and easiest way to just know what is in the damn file.
There is absolutely no one hard working or intelligent enough to be worth 4M$/hr.
Doesn't matter how many Harvard-level degrees you have.
The only possible argument for someone earning that much money is if "they took a huge risk by investing a lot of money in a hugely risky business opportunity".
And in that case, such risk should not exist. If a government wants to truly encourage entrepreneurship, it should provide with the basic needs for everyone, even if they lose everything in a risky business that didn't pay off. At the expense of course of taxing it when it does pay off.
I'm kinda glad they won't. If I tell you how easy it is to install an ad blocker and you don't, you're just funding my leeching through your data and time that you claim has no value.
You went through my comment history and quoted me, to just not read the whole quote.
Here, I'll help you:
It's fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.
As I said, there are already 3 top comments explaining to you why you're being downvoted. I don't need to explain myself when I mostly agree with them, I just upvote them.
If everyone had to explain every downvote, we would have hundreds of comments on each post, and most of them would say the same thing.
I never used them. AI is shit, and they're still at the "burning money" stage, wait 2-3 years and they'll enter the enshittification stage, where it will be even worse.
Plenty of times I've seen coworkers stuck at the same problem for hours. Until they come and ask for help and I give them a simple answer for their simple problem. Every time it is "well, I asked the AI and it said this thing and it didn't work, so I asked it to fix it and it didn't either, a bunch of times.". I just tell them "you're surrounded by a lot of people here that know a lot about programming, why don't you ask any of them?".
For real, why use an AI at work where you are surrounded by people that can actually answer your question? It just makes no sense. Leave AI to those that can't pay an artist for their game. Or to those that have a "game design idea that will change the world" but won't pay a programmer even if they can't program themselves.
If you approve someone, you don't need to explain yourself, you would just say "I agree with this guy". There's no substance to it.
However, if you downvote, you are saying "this is wrong". Which is much different. When you accuse someone of being wrong, you should explain yourself, otherwise you're being a dick.
It's fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.
EDIT: I'm absolutely in awe that this comment specifically gathered so many downvotes. And this is a good example of what I was referring to. Lots of people downvoted, and 0 ppl said why.
Pay your seniors then. Changing jobs is a hassle. No one will do it if they are happy with their current job. Give them also work from home, so not even moving due to a partner will make the senior change jobs.
