Whom do you license the Original Content from? Or do you steal it without recompensation?

Parody/satire is generally fair use.

Only if you are parodying the content used.

If you use copyrighted content to parody something else, you aren't protected. Penny Arcade had to pull a comic back in the day when they misunderstood this.

I don't know about the app store, but a screenshot with a satirical comment superimposed is easy fair use.

Only if the comment is about the screenshot itself though. https://youtu.be/1Jwo5qc78QU has some sad explanation.

I was thinking along the lines of not being OK to scrape YouTube rather then breaking copyright or intellectual property.

Oh sure, YouTube forbids that. Once there's enough traffic to care, it'll get cut off. But YouTube is somewhat unlikely to try to sue one's socks off for breaking the ToS. Copyright owners though...

I don't trust whatever company is holding their informational profile of me to hold it securely. Or what the extent of the information they've gathered can indicate, no one is going to stop at "just enough"

Honest question, why do you care if it isn't secure? What would be the downside of one's internet activity being public?

When you search for information on a medical issue for a friend and your life insurance premiums go up.

That’s hypothetical but big publishers already make financial calculations about your profile based on your page visits. So the rest is extrapolation.

We have no control over the correctness of information and no way to correct it.

what would you consider "real" internet points?

hacker news karma points (ducks)

Wait, what's the conversion rate of HN karma to ducks? I haven't received any ducks at this point. When should I start to expect them? I'm fond of mallards and mandarins. Do I get a choice?

Working on something for hackers who hate marketing: wax.run Basically outsourced growth

Tried signing up, but (presumably) your configuration is pointing the signup link in the email at your local Dev environment... I tried replacing localhost with wax.run, but it didn't do anything. Lastly, considering you are all about marketing and growth, you'll need a landing page that demonstrates this. As in, your landing page needs to be better than most landing pages. While I'm all about minimalism, I found it…

Thanks for the feedback! I clearly made this comment prematurely, but the interest pushed to get a reasonable landing page in place and implement the login in production. Let me know what you think of the extended pitch (click "what is this"): https://www.wax.run/

Can you send me a note mike@wax.run ? Would like to stay in touch as we get closer to launching.

Good job! I've created gif meme creator and so far I've only received one 5 USD donation. :D https://gifmemes.io

How do I donate? I'll double your year-to-date earn!

The donate button shows up only after gif export. It did not want to clutter the ui.

This is neat! Is it open source? Or, do you have a write up about the algorithm somewhere?
