Content harvesting is the data storage of every word in this comment. Metadata harvesting is the data storage of the app interaction processes required to post the comment: it could be swipes, the navigation between screens to get to the comment screen, the amount of time spent on every user interface element, the erroneous taps or failed user inputs like half swipes or eaten input during this navigation, and finally the timestamp of the comment. I read a EULA the other day for an app and it's all spelled out: not only is your data their data, but your navigation of the candybar glowing rectangle to input the data is also subject to ownership. The weaponization of the dopamine casino can be improved with better triangulation of human interfacing.

2024-11-27 12:28:48 +0000 UTCI'm into playing a lil ttrpg D&D type games and last night Troll Lords Games were talking about Google docs and Microsoft word on the cloud is meta harvesting every word written. What is meta harvesting? The Troll Lords were like we're going back to typewriters.
