I'm afraid of what the future will look like 10+ years down the line after we've gutted humans from the workforce and replaced them with AI. Companies are going to be more faceless than they've ever been. Nobody will be accountable, you won't be able to talk to anyone with a pulse to figure out a problem (that's already hard enough). And we'll be living in a vibe coded nightmare governed by executives who were sold on the promise of a better bottom line due to nixing salaries/benefits/etc.
I don't think it will get that bleak, but it still is a good time to build human community regardless. This future only works for a broken society who can't trust their neighbor. You have the power to reverse that if you wish.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Checking in here almost daily is always a bright spot. Keep up the good work @dang and thanks for making this a place we want to be.

I.e., if you use Tor for "normie sites", then the fact that someone can be seen using Tor is no longer a reliable proxy for detecting them trying to see/do something confidential and it becomes harder to identify & target journalists, etc. just because they're using Tor.
Tor Browser has ~1M daily users. Tons of people use it for hitting sites that may be blocked in their country or they want to have some privacy like view pregnancy or health related articles and etc.
In addition to the reasons in sibling comment, this also acts as a filter for low-quality ad-based sites; same reason I close just about any website that gives me a popup about a ToS agreement.
Just a guess, but I'm thinking this isn't going to get much traction because: 1) it just reads like an AI-written ad and 2) people have "vibe coding" fatigue.
I guess for a lot of the Show HN posts, people could accuse of being Ads.
This was an honest account of my experience coding this. If you do a bit of research on our company, you might come to a different judgement. But obviously everybody is free to have their own opinions.
