  The honey one is just as useless as the honey extension itself, otherwise the YouTube one seems like it would be super op for studying topics en-mass

    I’ll have to disagree with you. You could buy a lot of items cheaper than $1 for free (insert the I’ll take your entire stock meme here).

    You might not be able to sell them on, but you can probably solve world hunger with it by just giving it away. And if you insist of seeing personal benefit: surely the positive karma you get with people could get you something in return. Also no one said anything about trading instead of selling :)

    Yeah but you’ll get spoiled on every show you watch, instantly comprehend the utter bullshit of any flat earth video that gets recommended, and you’ll have seen so much celebrity worship.

  Some are great. Take the Chrome one: Go to wikipedia and know something about pretty much everything. A lot of knowledge is useful even if you don’t properly understand everything.

  Youtube is a lesser version of Chrome.

  What’sApp entirely depends on how easily gullible rich people would give you money. You could probably just sell those information too.

  Netflix and Amazon could yield some nice money.

  Spotify would massively decrease the barrier of learning new instruments if you’re into that. But many of the benefits can be achieved by scrolling through notes/lyrics with the Chrome benefit.

    Chrome + Wikipedia was my plan. Plus “website” is so vague I could also read millions of books. Grab a spot on a show like Jeopardy and become the new chanp.

    Reading technical documentation on Chrome would make you an incredible subject matter expert. At the very least, you’d be able to get degrees and certifications pretty easily.

  Amazon, 100%. Bezos doesn’t get any money out of me, and Amazon has fucking everything. Sure, the quality varies sometimes, but who cares if you end up with a dud item when you can just try another listing for free?

  Tiktok is tempting if you could get a job as a social media manager

  source

  • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Yeah, and with the way social media works, there’s a decent chance that after establishing a pattern of being able to predict trends, you’ll be able to choose them. You don’t even have to be a social media manager to make money from that. Sell celebrity status. Or don’t when someone comes to you but you can’t predict them going viral.

    Or on a different angle, you could predict stocks that are about to go viral. Depending on how far in advance, you’ll also be able to predict future events and things like election outcomes. If you use your power to become well known on social media and can get stuff about yourself trending, you’ll be able to predict your own life. And if you can set trends with self-fulfilling prophecies, you could start revolutions or bring down regimes (or at least generate popular opposition).

      Yeah people are hopping on the Amazon one (which isn’t a bad choice) but predicting the future of trends like that is powerful. Especially once you become accustomed to it and can capitalize on them

  I think the loophole here is Spotify, because with all that knowledge, you are two or three relatively minor skill issues away from total musical mastery

  • WarmSoda@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    My question is how would you know exactly how to play a song but not be able to play any instruments. That doesn’t make any sense.

    If you know how to play the chords for the verse, chorus and bridge then you know how to play it on guitar.

      I think it would be like drawing. If you don’t have aphantasia and have an epic image in mind, and basically only be able to put it down in stick figures.

      In this case, you might know what strings to press and how hard to strum those strings. But you still need to get your fingers on those strings without tangling them and know how to pluck and strum them.

  A couple of these are really tempting. I nes more information avout Amazon, specifically do I get to choose the items? There doesn’t seem to be any stipulation that I can’t resell them, so that’s good.

  source

  • esc27@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Seems easy to loophole around as well. Since the downside is “you” can only shop at Amazon, you just need someone else to do your regular shopping. Of course you could be screwed if Amazon ever shuts down.

    source
• Aesk@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  The Tiktok one is definitely underrated. You could start the most successful advertising company. Or grow a content farm worth billions.

  YouTube would be insanely powerful, but only if you can control it. It could be a disaster if you open up YouTube and immediately fill your head with Jimmy Fellon clips and various Top 10 lists.

    what’s the point of selling when you can only buy from Amazon

      Because only 10 of the items per day are free, and counting groceries you might want more.

  I can already sing and play the guitar, not brilliantly but idgaf, so the Spotify one is really tempting. But I learned to play the Guitar from YouTube, and also how to speed solve a Rubik’s cube and pick a lock, so that one would be super useful too. In fact I could just type in “How to play X song on the guitar”

  So one of those two I guess, probably the YouTube one because job interviews would be way easier after a quick scroll through the thumbnails of a quick search before going in.
