Agreed. I’m an SEO and I haven’t seen meaningful ranking adjustment by fixing page speed scores myself, but others may depending on the competition level and niches.

It’s meant more as a minor signal and a tie breaker. If SEO is roughly the same for two competing companies but one has page speeds of 2 second load times and the other 5 second, then the 2 second load time page may get a bump above the other 5 second one.

Now, I say MAY because there’s a lot that goes into it and maybe one brand has better on page conversion rates over the other one or something else that might affect things.

Who said you could talk, jellyfish?! You insolent little bitch!

I’m not your bro, friend!

I get what you’re saying, but that’s what it’s called in business. They are usually called “affiliates” more formally, and they provide ancillary income to a business. The whole thing is a partnership - I give you traffic and you give me some money if they convert.

Right, but they won’t pay. Eventually, it’s impossible to run servers or pay anyone. So it’ll die if there’s no advertisers and just bad actors and bots.

Good. When all they have left is bots and advertisers figure out that’s all their clicks are and then decide to abandon the platform entirely, then X will be done.

Did my part. Bye bye account!

Edge is chromium though?

I know my calculus. It says you+me = us

Stupid AI!

Not disagreeing with you there.

Are you saying that the individuals who run these servers and instances aren’t subject to the same laws? I read the article, and Facebook complied with a court order.

You don’t think anyone running Lemmy would do the same without access to lawyers and capital like Facebook has?
