I think this works better for something like Facebook, Instagram comments tend to be compliments.
Yeah, it's really weird to me coming from the rest of the Internet to have random people I've never met say things like "Beautiful", "Great work", "I love it", etc., instead of, say, what you'll get in the comments of a youtube video.
Sadly, if it's just a single compliment with no relation to the actual image posted, it's likely a bot doing the commenting. This is a common way for people to boost their follower count.

The question is, if you have a load of high-value inventory to shift, but your audience isn't susceptible to it, why not treat this as an optimization problem and make them? Susceptibility to action is binary. If the audience isn't susceptible then they won't ever convert, or take action. I'll never buy a Yoni Egg [1], and no amount of targeting or putting advertisements in front of me will cause me to make a purchas…
Your example is laughably contrived, unrealistic, and so full of plot holes that my fingers would tire from typing all my thoughts out. By contrast, the very real privacy invasion damage that invariably occurs in the kind of world that you're advocating for is well documented, and dystopian in the extreme. The never forgetting Internet, the different insurance rates, the illegal files on every citizen etc. I want no…
We're a lot closer to it than you probably realize. Actually in some similar use cases we're already there.

That's all I ever see on my employer's blogs and announcements, and is far more depressing to me than any honest criticism would be.

#76And in 10 years, this will be a part of your Citizen Score. I should burn this nickname and be more diligent about persona management. Or get off social media entirely.
I'd bet that this:
"Using modern machines/VMs, C64 demoscene devs are able to create content and develop new efficient algos for the old hardware that probably wouldn't have been possible using only the old hardware alone. They can develop algos and art content using sophisticated tools and backport to the old hardware."
Is just as true today as is this:
"Using invasive data mining, insurance companies are able to make more accurate inferences about their high-risk groups that probably wouldn't have been possible using only the data they are legally allowed to use to set rates. They can use sophisticated tools offered from data brokers to make inferences and then backport them into policy changes that meet the current guidelines/regulations for the industry."
In either case I don't know enough to explain what "backporting" entails. But there's just no way insurance companies aren't using this kind of invasive data already.

Red flag of what, though? Eg, I stay away from social media, and create burners for just about everything (rotating burners semi frequently depending on how many random details I post, etc) - so what am I an indicator of? I try to be a Ghost. I'm sure a ghost is an indicator for some things, but the majority of it is just speculation right? I have trouble thinking of how a lack of information about someone could be h…
> Red flag of what, though? If your employer/government/etc asks you for your facebook/google+/instagram/snapchat/etc account and you say you don't have any, it might come off as being suspicious. As if you are trying to hide something. The same thing with your banks/financial institutes/etc.
I have none of those accounts, ghost or otherwise. I don't intend to either. Does this doom me forever to be a suspicious person?
Why can't it simply indicate that I have no interest in sharing my personal life with those companies?

I'd rather speak my mind and be judged for it than homogenize myself for acceptance.

#79Would it be acceptable for Facebook to try to make you less depressed by changing what you see on your feed?
They've tried it: http://www.pnas.org/content/111/24/8788.full.pdf

They do this, or at least have done this. If a "digitally depressed" person has exhausted all possible suggested friends, FaceBook proceeds to suggest friends that they assume will be sexually attractive to you, as an example.
