  Yea id either get what I wanted to see which was essentially just shit posting and wood working videos or, more usually the case, it would be nothing but Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan and half baked conspiracy videos taking about DEW and wildfires.

  It’s understandable in the end. I do feel the same way sometimes about our equipment we have to throw out even if I do so begrudgingly

  I can agree with both points but I understand OP’s points too.

  I work with high pressure hydraulic systems and our gauges that we use for testing and operational checks have to be calibrated to within a very small margin per the manufacturer, if it’s unable to be calibrated to within that margin or if it’s been recalibrated X amount of times we have to toss it and replace it (they’re expensive btw…). To the lay man, a difference of 50psi might seem inconsequential and a stupid reason to throw it out but for someone like me who is standing next to something that’s already pressurized to its “proof pressure” which is usually multiple times higher than it’s operating pressure, that 50psi is the difference between me going home that evening or me getting impaled by an accumulator that blows apart and pins me to the wall.

  For an example more akin to what OP is talking about, see the Therac-25 radiotherapy machine, where improper use, training and maintenance led to several otherwise preventable deaths.

  Yea I can’t logically understand how an influencer even gets their content seen on Meta’s platforms given how it’s algorithm just pukes random shit at you 24/7 with no rhyme or reason.

  Iirc Meta, X and some other platform I can’t think of did a similar thing with popular streamers and YouTubers trying to get them to post to their platforms. Most of them told Meta and X to screw off.
