Yep, it’s called dwell time and it is 100% one of the metrics used by the algorithms that decide what content to serve up.

Totally agree! I picked up an old iPhone 6s yesterday and I just couldn’t believe how much lighter and thinner it is than the latest models.
At least for calling a business, how about a law which requires companies who use automated phone services to send you to an actual person when pressing 0. Standardize the number to press and make it a requirement during business hours. It sucks getting trapped in an automated phone answering service when you 100% know that it can’t help you, only a customer service representative is able to deal with your situation.
I haven’t looked at the statistical data on this myself, but there’s something to be said for survivorship bias.
That’s true, I agree with this sentiment. But I’m a bit confused when trying to apply the same logic to credit bureaus and other companies which get hacked and expose our personal information without facing any real consequences. In those situations I feel that those companies should be held liable for the breaches.
Wow good find using the pdf metadata!
Thanks for sharing! I wish they had the date of publishing listed for this article. I get the feeling it was written 15 years ago, well before streaming music services existed. Would love to see them update this based on the latest technologies and services.
Oh ok nice, thanks for the info!
The link you shared says only in specific circumstances can someone opt out of LexusNexus:
Opting out of LexisNexis can be more complex than removing your data from other people-search sites. To have your information taken down, you must meet specific criteria, and LexisNexis may request additional documentation:
- Victim of identity theft: you need to provide a police report documenting the identity theft or similar documentation.
- Law enforcement officers or public officials facing threats of severe bodily harm or death:** **you must submit a letter from their supervisor confirming the nature of their position and the threats.
- At risk of physical harm but not in law enforcement: you’ll need to submit a protective order from the court, a police report, or similar documentation.
In this potential scenario, instead of axing 41% of people from the workforce, we should all get 41% of our lives back. Productivity and pay stay the same while the benefits go to the people instead of the corporations for a change. I know that’s not how it ever works, but we can keep pushing the discussion in that direction.
Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks for your reply!
Do you know how both of those compare with Google Sheets?
Also this one!
“I rewrote Portal from scratch and solved the Portal Paradox”
Nice graphic! But this data seems wildly out of date. For example, LinkedIn has over 1 billion users. Unless this is referring to weekly active users or something, but the row just says “users”.
