@aaronpk with regards to the YouTube Chat Overlay plugin. Is there any possible way to get greater customization?
I was hoping to potentially mod the animation, style and graphics at a future date potentially.
Like being able to use After Effects with some HTML, CSS, and JS
I'm not planning on adding a UI to customize things that much, but the whole thing is open source and you can dig into the CSS yourself! There's instructions here for how to load your copy of it outside the Chrome store.

I disagree. An algorithm is not intrinsically bad. As long as we understand that it represents the interests of whoever paid to have it constructed. I think an algorithm with human values that simply wanted to enrich experience is perfectly possible.
I haven't seen one, probably because nobody has ever had a financial incentive to construct it.
Mastodon would be a good place to try to make one.

This is amusing. Websites are struggling with the crawler requests from Fediverse instances when a new post propagates through the network. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2022/11/mastodon-stampede/
Now that blogs and personal websites might see a revival, tons of people will have to learn the lessons us older website operators have learned during the first wave of social media when Twitter and Facebook got big.
The main lesson being: don’t serve dynamic content directly without any cache layer.

I will also likely regret wading in on this, but:
1: Using robots.txt requires also fetching robots.txt first, so that only marginally reduces the total number of requests.
2: Caching and CDNs are already a well-established pattern on the web, and necessary for a lot of things that have nothing to do with Mastodon/fediverse. Solving that problem other ways will likely create new problems, so at least that falls back on existing solutions that are known to work.
but also, I'm reading back up this thread... come on everyone, be nice! We are all on the same side! -

@gme @crschmidt @tw @cshabsin @jefftk I will likely regret wading in here but this is a rather bizarre thread. Spec or not, it’s poor design. It’s irresponsible. It’s messy. It’s resource intensive. To say “put a CDN on it” doesn’t change the waste - it hides the bug/implementation and shifts the responsibility. @jwz and friends are correct to bring attention to it. Don’t bury it. Fix it. @Gargron

CREATORS: If you're still getting bot spammers and scammers in your YouTube comments, I put together a Google Doc that lists all the keywords, phrases, and emojis they've used.
Since then, I have yet to have any bots get through. I hope this helps!
