    Pictures get way more engagement than text posts though. Platforms and app feeds are heavily biased to show thumbnails.

    Just a bit of css also wont retain its meme if people want to copy it.

    To make it an easily sharable meme of which text color cannot be altered. It must be a picture of green quoted text.

    I would also kinda argue the picture within often does add something, provides a sliver of information about the speakers personality. Sometimes “Picture unrelated” ads to humor.

    The pattern of where that picture is in relation to the text helps the pattern recognition of “this is a greentext” again.

    Basically just cut off the top line and we’re good.

    I am in agreement but also doubt.

    With the name and look, new users will still be looking for the old name.

    It also asks the question if we can post new format content under the old name and communities, tags? That probably depends on the community.

    Basically it calls for sitting around the table to discuss what a green text is and what it is not. Are we really organized enough for this?

    Is a green text actually a 4chan screen?

    Or is it a distinct meme template to tell stories in ab engaging way that just happened to originate on 4chan?

    Especially when the content literally never existed on 4chan, it looks like it but isnt.

    I ask this with some rhetoric. We did click the content. Would it have been equally enjoyable as a twitter post: “after 6 years of living in the dark i discovered my light is dimmable, fuck me”?





  • I am opposite to this.

    Present day Google IS chrome and as much as i am disgusted by them and want them broken up forcing a sale of chrome does not make sense and could actually spiral into the collapse of the company. (Don’t threaten me with a good time)

    All internet platforms want a… well platform to have users on. An interface/environment that in its most profitable form can be plastered with ads.

    For the google of old this used to be its search engine website.

    But it sucks now, the web has kept growing and most people only need a different tiny fraction of it.

    Yes its dominant, but its getting increasingly bad and will get increasingly useless as we start using smarter ai to filter (not re-generate) the web to our needs.

    This is why openai wants to buy chrome, they want to replace all that google was with themselves.

    Google also have their workspace platforms but there are no standalone apps. They are inherently designed for in browser use.

    All of this means it makes a lot of sense they have a clear incentive to want to control the browser. Because its the frame that contains almost everything they do.

    Compare that with microsoft, who owns the majority of operating systems, the entire office platform, and is also still competing with a search engine. And they still get to integrate edge like a glue no one asked for?

    Burn both these corpos but the logic applied here makes no sense.

    I am purposely ignoring all the other projects, robotics, Because honestly half of them never get to product and they don’t really effect the identity of theirs business as much.

    If anything it would make more to sell these other projects like autonomous cars, you know they are just going to try take over taxi services first and delivery services second if they get to keep that.
