A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

What do you even do with 50gb of tracked data?
Edit: i should clarify that i mean regular people, not corpos
Put it in an unsecured aws s3 bucket
Categorize/profile it and sell it to the highest bidder. The more corps. know your every detail, actions and reactions, the better chances there are of said person(s) to eventually cave and buy their stuff or pay for services.
Simple example: If you know that someone is in a curtain age group (say 25-35), has paid for car insurance before and what state they currently live in, then car insurance companies/corps. will target you with their ad(s).
No no i meant what do regular people use all of it for?
Good thought out answer though
Metadata is often more interesting/useful than the data itself
