Do you not have multiple confluence space admins to avoid specifically this type of problem?

Then you know full well that just because they shouldn’t take all the crab legs doesn’t mean they don’t/won’t take them all. If I go for crab legs and none are available, I’ll blame Mandarin and give them a crappy review. People will be people. Can’t blame them.
Then why advertise it as “unlimited” or “all you can eat”? That’s false advertisement.
You’re referring to Mandarin Buffet aren’t you
What? How? The user is simply taking advantage of what is being offered
In what world are “unlimited” and “all you can eat” synonymous with “too far”?
“Too far” implies a definite limit, which is the antonym of unlimited and all you can eat, regardless of the business’s ability to sustain it. If there is a limit, don’t advertise it as unlimited or all you can eat that’s false advertisement.
Thanks for the plexamp reco! I didn’t realize there was a music app by Plex.
I’m not sure I agree… Or more precisely, it depends. !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca is an example of a community where there is value in reposting content from Reddit over, where the value is getting the coverage of deals. On Reddit, a small majority of users actively seek and share deals. If those users don’t move to Lemmy, that community is dead, period. No amount of enticement will introduce new content.
The secondary value now is that, previously, many users had to go to Reddit for that content, because that content isn’t available on Lemmy. Reposting isn’t just to kick-start user engagement, but is also a retention tool. Users don’t need to go to Reddit to fetch that info anymore. I know that was the case for me.
I understand the consequence of Lemmy being a mirror of Reddit. And yes, over reposting is detrimental. This is where reposts need to be strategically applied where it makes sense.
Ideally you don’t want a blood transfusion. But in specific circumstances, a blood transfusion kick-starts the healing/growth process.
I’ve seen a number of communities that are otherwise dead without Reddit reposts, and being the most subscribed community for a given topic with the latest post being months ago is definitely not going to attract new users.
It’s either don’t repost, and new users won’t join because of dead community, or repost and have some activity, and maybe new users will join. With dead communities, new users won’t magically join, and new content won’t magically get created.
One such example was the bcpcsalescanada community, which was revived due to reposts.
A few times during my childhood. The thing I hated the most was the lingering smell of the gaseous anesthetic. In subsequent surgical procedures, I requested an ivy approach to the delivery of the anesthetic.
Perhaps, but this is what was advised by the doctor, so I don’t know
I’m not in the US, but one of the issues I have with medical insurance is that, say you need medication, the doctor will provide you with a prescription, requiring a specific brand due to the efficacy compared to other brands. The insurance providers would reject claims for the prescribed brand, and suggest an inferior brand that doctors warned to avoid.
This happened to my older folks, and is baffling why insurances feel the need to override a doctor’s recommendations.
I just roll with all 3 🤷
My personal top 3:
What says about them is market performance. Year over year growth for the past 3 years, 60th in top ecommerce sites for electronic-related domain.

We can judge all we want by their approach, but their performance numbers don’t reflect your theory. Perhaps you’re not their target demographic, and that’s ok.
How do you feel about Karen’s Diner? Their whole shtick is to be rude and unprofessional to customers. Same goes for dbrand. It is their brand to be unprofessional.
The irony is that it is on brand for them to be off brand
Been doing so over and over. The problem is that the recommendation model is pretty basic. You start watching a new channel or new topics, your recos start being mostly about topics related to the new channel/topics.
If I’m subbed to 200 channels, rarely do I get recos from channels I’ve subbed to early on. As a dev, I would love for the ability to tune what gets shown on the home page.
I recently disabled history after getting annoyed about getting bombarded with recommended videos for something I only needed to watch once (e.g. a recipe, or instructions on how to repair something).
Now my YT homepage is literally stuck with the same videos, even the ones I’ve already watched. Doesn’t matter how many times I refresh.
YouTube recommendation algorithm is extremely rudimentary, it’s shocking. I really wished that they gave us the ability to tune the recommendation model, or some sort of include exclude filtering.
I wish the world was as utopian as you described. Unfortunately, and I’m sorry to say, that’s an extremely naive world view you hold. I hope you won’t be taken advantage of by people with less good intentions.
