Because &#34;making the platform&#39;s proposition more attractive to advertisers&#34; boils down to either more ads or ads that are more obnoxious, more disguised as content, more targetted. 2025-03-17T23:35:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrcry2w48r4f3nurta3xpd5p7m79ydntsa7604ggg87a02tl9fkvgzyqg20sphlht0fxq47x2fy3ghxtpvek5yujwatlzfvcgnngev6er5k22djpm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvg6mle4ywmdrgvg3zgcjqxqu2jy2t4pxhff76wlsqzc2e3sj07ec3qu23j'>nevent1q…u23j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It narrows it down to people from instances that still federated with Hexbear *and* have money to spend on this stupid shit. 2025-02-12T11:54:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfupjatatufpj9he408qhvpgfjuqg0uppw44ksx0hugm9k8tygqtczyqg20sphlht0fxq47x2fy3ghxtpvek5yujwatlzfvcgnngev6er5kx3h2nu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0fccxr5w68jjkxg6r6kxcuzmhml3ygv9sp4qcdnkahctm592fmkg3l59qr'>nevent1q…59qr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Relevant to note that every other bid comes from the same bidder, j_s_0e6b87. Here&#39;s what I&#39;m guessing about them:<br/><br/>* They likely know about Hexbear, since they were bidding on the address right off the bat.<br/>* They aren&#39;t a domain squatter. A domain squatter would try to minimise the amount of money spent on a domain; and yet they&#39;re bidding too early, too frequently, and values considerably higher than the necessary to be the top bidder. <br/>* They aren&#39;t using automated tools, since the the times and values between the others&#39; bids and theirs are too erratic.<br/>* Either they don&#39;t plan to actually win the bid, OR they have lots of money (to the point that US$710 is pocket change for them) *and* really, really bad blood against Hexbear.<br/> 2025-02-12T11:37:24Z
