I’m sorry, I know this bums a lot of you out, because you’ve built your personality on being to pro-market, pro-technology guy, but technology is just very clearly making us less happy

nigeria having a 95% fraud rate LMAO

[Avi Patel @avipat_]

We have removed Kled from the Nigerian app store and IP banned the entire region.

The first thing I would like to say is I have nothing against Nigeria. I have a ton of friends from this region and these were some of our earliest app adopters. Genuinely, thank you all for the support.

Kled has been up and running and out of beta for 4 months now. We have paid out hundreds of thousands of people for their data, and our users have uploaded over 1 billion assets onto our platform.

After several months of uploads we found that Nigeria had a ≈95% fraud rate. Instead of real, usable data, users were uploading pictures of black screens, duplicate photos, internet generated images, AI generated images, etc. at an unimaginable scale.

In comparison, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines have a less than 10% fraud rate across 10x the userbase size.

Our fraud system is fast to catch these issues but the level of complexity of these schemes is getting out of hand.

This weekend we were flooded with thousands of fake Japanese passports and identity cards with Nigerians photoshopped onto them in our KYC system. That was the final straw.

As a startup we can't afford to eat the costs of that data overhead, so we temporarily removed the app from the region while we improved our fraud detection and banning system to quickly filter out bad actors when the time is right.

On top of all of this, every time we make a post there is someone asking us to bring the region back within seconds. We hear you, but it's gotten out of hand.

We've made this decision with great care. We love everyone who has genuinely supported Kled from Nigeria, and we hope to return when the time is right.

may be african spam post but just a reminder: cancer rates are far higher in certain groups because they use harsh cleaning products constantly

if you’re gonna be a neurotic mess about cleaning, you need to pivot to something like dawn/vinegar etc so you stop poisoning yourself

my uncle wanted to make an extra payment on his new truck. the lady said “we don’t do that here. dont do this again.”

he got so angry he met with his financial advisor and said “whats the amount I need to pay off this truck” then walked in the next day with a far larger check

[Wifi Money Plant @WifiMoneyPlant]

Biggest "the kids are fucked" moment I've had recently was buying a car

Walked into the dealership, told them what I wanted and said I'd pay up-front. Expected them to be thrilled

Instead they were horrified. Spent the next 20 minutes trying to get me to finance it at some absurd rate

Got me curious so after I left I read about car sale profit models. Apparently most US dealerships make more financing now than from the cars themselves

I was such a boomer I assumed they'd want CASH

In reality they want your ETERNAL SLAVERY at 19% APR

@ramit then they read this and say “SEE? LIBS DONT CARE ABOUT US!!!” and then vote for him, or someone just like him, again and again

its the agrarian ouroboros. never seen a group repeatedly choose to shove a banana up their own tailpipe like this

@wwarrior_1 I'd rather be stuck in the most badass armor imaginable, yet eternally cursed to pick fruit in an orchard with a kill switch that instantly turns me into a vegetable if I ever stop, than play this storyline ever again

[Richard Dawkins @RichardDawkins]

Saw a down-and-out in Seattle last night. His sign said not "I need food" or "I need a job" but "I need a fat bitch". What could this mean?

Because it suggests that violence and greed are not products of capitalism

I wonder what it’s like to suggest something like this and have to pretend it doesn’t sound crazy

They turned against blind auditions because selecting people for talent did not produced the desired demographics.
