This was a big problem during the 2016 election on reddit. There were armies of idiots who searched for comments containing ‘Trump’ and would brigade the shit out of it. But if you changed the ‘p’ to a ‘р’ (the Cyclic character) or changed the ‘u’ to a ‘ս’ (the Armenian character) miraculously you wouldn’t be brigaded.

From what I’ve seen, your $/h for any type of part-time software work is going to be very low.

You know who has no idea what the going rate is for a decent website? Small business owners. That’s why they don’t have one to begin with.

I’ve found that if you’re going to freelance, you need to do it full time. Your going to be passed over if someone can do it twice as fast for the same rate, so you really have to slash your prices if you want any business.

IT side jobs don’t really exist, especially if you’re looking for cash. You’d almost be better off picking up a part time shift flipping burgers.

I’m always amazed how little space it takes to store huge amounts of plain text. Especially when it’s compressed. That old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is off by a few orders of magnitude.

I think you might just be hyper aware of it and see it in places that are not AI written. This reads fine to me, very stereotypical article where you only need to read every other sentence in every other paragraph because the writer was fluffing for ad space. It’s hard to write a “scrollable” article about a very specific piece of a shoe.
