⛔ Nope
This is my /nope page listing everything I don’t want in my digital life, things that trigger bad vibes and that I think shouldn’t exist. It is inspired by slashpages. Sorry if I’m being too negative.
- Ads are everywhere on the web and in software. There must be a better way to make money these days, right, RIGHT?. The ads business is killing the web and destroying trust because of user tracking.
- Ads networks making inroads in generative AI services. Imagine: companies are looking to position their products and services in gen AI answers to your prompts. And companies like OpenAI are starting to sell user data to make it happen.
- Excessive user tracking. A consequence of the previous item.
- When LinkedIn sends me emails about my «performance» and gives me a summary of all the things I’ve been missing since my last visit. Building a business model on the fear of missing out (FOMO syndrome), NO!
- I receive inquiries for collaboration or guest posts from bots or humans who didn’t read my website in the first place. As you know, I don’t display ads on my blog, yet here we are.
- Similarly, someone sent me out-of-context job proposals but didn’t read my LinkedIn Profile. Get lost.
- Liking every single photo I share on Pixelfed… to draw some attention to your account. There must be photos that you don’t like, no?
- Reddit toxicity: take for example this guy he is such a bully.
- Algorithm-based timelines. Infinite scrolling timelines. Traditional social networks. They ruined the open web. They fucked up the web.
- YouTube video thumbnail designs like these are… well… how should I say…? They are visual clickbait, and people somewhat look a bit stupid in those.
- Generative AI-based virtual therapists or friends. That is so fucked up.
