    Yeah, except if you are a member of a troll bot farm. Lemmy allows easy creation of accounts and even networks of it so upvotes mean nothing.

      I haven’t experienced bot presence on Lemmy nearly as much as other platforms. It feels like Reddit years ago: small, but tight communities.

      Why would one though? All the bots are on Twitter now because in order to fight Bots, Elon encouraged massive abuse of bots and ChatGPT with his new monetization scheme that earns you money the more impressions and engagement you get on your posts.

    The highest level of achievement is missing: Getting only two downvotes on Stackoverflow

      Has… Has that ever been accomplished??? The elders must know!

      Also not enough information to say this is an issue have you just tried checking your logs?

        Your answer doesn’t solve the issue and is a duplicate. I’ll double downvote you right now

      And the highest level of disappointment is finding a 10 year old stack overflow post that is exactly the problem you’re having, but then discover that not only does it not have an answer but you’re the one who asked it 😭

        there’s someone who uploaded this same meme before the reddit thing but instead of 2000 it said 20

        edit: I was linked to the post a few months ago maybe but I can’t find it now

    What’s nice here is that the upvote to comment ratio is pretty low compared to reddit and other platforms, meaning one upvote here means a lot more than one upvote on reddit.

    Also each post sparks cool and unique discussions so you get more out of reading and participating in the comment section.

    And that’s why I love this place

    Hey I’d settle for 10 million likes on YouTube… In views alone thats worth like $100k in ad revenue. But given that likes are typically only 10% of viewership, that means a video liked by 10 million probably has 100 million views. Which is about $1 million in ad revenue for just that video, assuming a low end payout of $0.01 per view.

      That’s not a low end payout per view. Typically it’s a fraction of a cent (USD) per view. Typically ads pay out per 1000 views, and the average of that is $0.38. To make the math easier, we’ll call it $0.50 per 1000 views, or $0.0005 per view. On top of this, YouTube takes their 45% cut, which means you’re looking at more like $0.00025 per view. Of course, that’s the average, and for a larger channel with the right audience you’re more likely to see a CPM (cost per mille, mille being 1000 in French) of a few dollars. Let’s call it $5.00, which would come to a CPM of $0.005, or roughly $0.0025 after YouTube takes their cut. That’s still $25,000 for 10 million views, which is a ton of money, but I think people have a tendency to overinflate how much money comes from Youtube ads.
