    This is neat. It's like a framework and language in one. Congrats on the launch! The tooling for it feels quite novel. I get the allure of having zero dependencies but... the reaso…

    Thank you for making this. Brings me back to Sid Meier's Pirates.

    For some reason you are being downvoted but I wanted to echo your sentiment. As someone who tries to switch things up for every next task, the productivity of Claude Max is worth e…

    How can you virtuously reminisce about the heydays of the open internet and then vaguely allude to gatekeeping the internet?

    I'm sick and tired of seeing similar headlines and articles that reference the MIT report. It is incredible lazy journalism and borderline click bait. The MIT report was created by…

    According to Genius, some fans believe the lyrics to reference when he toured in the Philippines and flew to Japan after. https://genius.com/14147648 The timing of the song being r…

    Same, any existing study I've read follows abuse-level or Chronic usage. Would love to know affects of recreational usage. I'd imagine such a study would be quite difficult because…

    Many find it hard to understand which is why affiliate networks create studies, write articles, and post reports with results, similar to the one I posted. Retailers don't go in bl…

    Yes, now this I wholeheartedly agree. The system itself is not right and you can definitely credit MegaLag to drawing industry-wide attention to this issue. People are hating the p…

    Actually if you check wayback they've been telling us straight up since 2016 they make money off of commissions. https://web.archive.org/web/20180125135216/http://help.joinh... Aff…

    That's fair. But consider a retailer who has budget to spend with the goal of increasing sales. Here's a study one of the largest affiliate networks did on shopping extensions - ht…

    YouTubers have no idea how much money they are losing due to last click attribution. They're mad that it could be a lot but in reality it is more likely very little. MegaLag posted…

    Sure, and in those cases those retailers may choose not to partner with Honey. However, Honey maintains an active partnership with quite a lot of happy retailers, even after PayPal…

    The article I linked supports this but to put it simply, Honey delivers a return on ad spend. Your first point is true, but Honey and other extensions practice "stand down" where i…

    Retailers have budget to spend and have that spend deliver a return. It's just a simple return on investment. CJ, one of the biggest affiliate companies even encourages working wit…

    This is not true. In the affiliate marketing space, Honey won many awards for being great business partners. Yes, there are examples of retailers being impacted when Honey picked u…

    What is he blatantly ignoring? He's actually in a comment right above directly addressing mitigating last-click with stand-down policies.

    Sounds like you are taking MegaLags’ video without a grain of salt. Honey does not touch Amazon affiliate links (you can test this) and yet many enraged influencers just use Amazon…

    Everything I've seen from Roblox just seems so rough across the board. Poor UI, poor graphics, poor gameplay. There's a sense of freedom that is quite refreshing kind of like Gary'…

    Good article, but I'm going to hard disagree on two-way data-binding. At scale, you're asking for a very bad time.
