Their words
Betting your career against the thing (it seems) all companies are hyper-scaling towards is a big bet. Either you're right and the world will always need people who know how software works, or you're wrong and you're left in the dust... or we're all steam rolled by the errant contraption.

A theme system's styles should be low-specificity rather than targeted directly at specific elements.Their words
But a system is different than laser-guided fixes. Themes should be low-specificity by design.

Advertising is what has degraded the quality of websites and social platforms like Instagram.Their words
Ads are why websites have gone to shit. It's why Instagram has become unusable, not to mention that it's become a giant multi-level marketing scam where it's all influencers hustling their dropshipped garbage to each other instead of sharing cool photos with friends.

Collective consumer purchasing choices can measurably influence a company's business metrics.Their words
Collectively we can influence the number chart. It could be a coordinated buying campaign or boycott, but I think it could be as simple as re-patronizing small businesses you already enjoy.

Nothing matches.
What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
