More than one group is funding animal rescue with videos about

animal

rescue. Most of that is ad revenue.

Yeah, that's what I don't understand - accounting systems
and what the actual currency is.

Eyeballs on advertising. Clicking through gets the Youtuber the most
money, and if enough subscribe and click they can make decent money
at it.

I guess I'm too stuck on traditional ways of assessing
and responding to value. I am uncomfortable enough with
eurodollars and petrodollars; now there are these
incomprehensible virtual currencies running around,
enough to make my head spin. As far as clicking goes,
there must be a way to game the system, perhaps by
unleashing roboclickers using methods not unlike the
schemes that use personal computers' idle processing
power to solve arcane computations for the greater good.

A set of rules one can rely on can be very helpful.

Even if they're the criminal's rules. It works.

Especially if they're the criminal's rules, just so
you know what they are.

Random capricious stuff never works long term.

But nonrandom noncapricious crime can pay, and well, so
that's what we're counting on when confronting malfeasance.
Our physical safety, though, is just as dependent on the
random factor.

Hell is a lot closer than that - it's in Michigan, and
you could look it up.

I'll go take a Michigander.

What a Kahlo thing to say.

I do that on my Linux server when it's idle. If I'm going to keep it on
and pay for the power, might as well put it to good use.

I believe you're talking about BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for
Network Computing).

I need to talk to my friend about getting a new OS/2 BOINC client
compiled. It would make good use of the BBS machine overnight.

See how many times the typist's name appears in this recipe...

Then there are the Instagram "influencers" who make crazy money
shilling for cosmetic or clothing companies, among other things.

Probably, but I'd hope they have software to detect it.

One deer deciding to behave like a chicken and cross the road can
make for an interesting day. Add in the insurance and medical groups
and ... talk about crime....
