"X, formerly known as Twitter, experienced a 30% drop in usage from 2023 to 2024, according to a study from Edison Research that clashes with favorable traffic metrics shared by the social media platform’s billionaire owner, Elon Musk, and CEO Linda Yaccarino."

"Just over half of all Americans said they read at least one book in 2023. Most of them read just a few books this year: 82% of Americans read 10 or fewer books."
I read about 6-7 books in 2023, which according to a chart in the article means I read more than 72% of Americans. That's really sad.

"Vice Media will cease publishing to its website and lay off several hundred staffers as the beleaguered publisher makes “fundamental changes” to its “strategic vision” under its new private equity ownership, chief executive Bruce Dixon announced Thursday in a memo to staff."

I've been seeing a lot of posts on #Threads about how bad the #Instagram algorithm is now. Apparently a lot of people are getting way less engagement on their posts than they used to on IG. It seems to mostly be bookstagram and #photography accounts, at least from what I've seen.
This seems like the perfect opportunity for #Pixelfed to step in and fill the place Instagram had. 😁 :pixelfed:

"Still, in 2020, 86% of Mozilla’s revenue came from its search deal with Google. That may be down from 88% in 2019, but for all intents and purposes, Mozilla remains fully dependent on Google for the time being."

I guessed before I clicked on the article that these AI generated books were being sold on Amazon. This is why I have never bought a book from Amazon and never will.
Besides the issues Amazon has with AI generated books Amazon also purposely prices books low to drive competitors out of business. So support your local bookstore instead. Indie bookstores don't sell misinformation written by an AI chatbot.

Wish Mastodon had the ability to turn off replies, or to choose who you want to reply to your posts.
Most of the replies on my posts are great, but sometimes there's someone who just *has* to reply to tell me that no, actually what I'm saying is wrong and here's why it's wrong.
