To me that is good press, and it's something I personally would like. Seeing a state and/or adjunct corporations throwing a tantrum over this is only a measure of success.
I'd like curated content to have a larger presence as well. I wonder If enhancing playlists could accomplish this. You can add metadata and arrange while the video remains on its channel.
On the other hand I doubt a lot of reuploading is done in earnest.
> Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment which consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions. The harasser who uses this tactic also uses fake civility so as to discredit their target.
Where is the harassment? There was a question asked. No persistence. No repeated questions. You are also assuming the intent to be malicious. What is your goal?
Its "or" harassment. The approach is to generally ask benign seeming questions that are very complex to answer. In the gp if of my comment there is already context and is a reply to something else. Bypassing all of that to ask how the entire thing works is likely a disingenuous attempt at using an asymmetrically simple question asking for a huge answer.
You can choose to feel that way about it. the gp of my reply is pointing to the article, content and thereforce context therein. Not addressing any single part with a question done in the spirit of casting doubt knowing full well how the answer goes is perfectly within the description of sealioning.
Understandable, but something like an EpiPen and a lot of other very well established things like say, insulin. They're well within the realm of a stable generic that can be managed as to maximize the amount of lifes it improves. Right?
Regarding insulin, we’ve made huge progress in so many ways, and there is still room for improvement. We have different forms of insulin with different lifespans that we can use to create insulin regimens for different kinds of diabetics. For example, we have lantus, which is a long acting insulin that helps give 24 hour coverage. We combine that with short acting insulin lispro at mealtimes. Lantus is a relatively new form of insulin that wasn’t available a few decades ago.
Different bodies also respond very differently to all the different kinds of insulin available. There is room for further improvement as the typical lantus/lispro regimen isn’t perfect for everyone.
Insulin is hard to manufacture. The older versions are now generic, but the new, patented ones have measurable advantages. Because most people have insurance coverage, there is a limited market for the older, generic insulin.
I'm sorry but I disagree. Alluding to "maybe not knowing" whether someone wants to do something which has, plenty of times been demonstrated in economical and psychological terms to be detrimental is not a strong argument. It's just tossing a very sheer cover of "we don't know that" and ending there.
these are super weak. I dont need a background image indexed. there are plenty of ways to bundle and optimize images using webpack and the like. It sounds like someone using the least amount of tools available to make a case for a better tool, which plenty of exist...
Author here. I'm familiar with optimizing images via webpack and the like; there's an article I wrote on the same site as this one detailing just that (amongst other things):
The issue is that for many larger sites that are content-managed, the images aren't known at build time. So you need some kind of mechanism in place to deal with optimizing user-uploaded images.
Obviously you don't want truly decorative images indexed; but that's not what the article is discussing (except in the "SO WHEN IS IT GOOD?" section). It's discussing the abuse of CSS background-image for content images, something I've seen as being quite prevalent.
As the article mentioned, this is bad for accessibility, SEO, performances, and other lesser issues.
