Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

I've just shared a few posts with Nifty-Chicken on the update discussion thread about ads and I've been convinced that the ethics shaping byc are sound, so I paid for premium membership to cover my share of running the site and opt out of ads being served to me.

My premium membership lapsed the other day and I almost sprained my fingers trying to renew it to get rid of the ads. I had forgotten how intrusive they were. Yikes.

So can you share those ethics with me in a summary format?

Scarves are such an easy way to invigorate an outfit and it's always nice to look at a scarf on someone else. It seems like evety single scarf is different

My wife is a huge "scarfer". I love the colors she adds to basic outfits. Really dresses them up.

I think your maths might be off or you made a typo. If you've got 16 hens, that's 160 watts.

If my memory serves(and it might not) you don't have 160 hens (1600 watts).

New chicken math!

Ok, my neighbor is emailing my chick's pic's to me now. Here's the first one of my 6 that I just hatched a couple of day's ago.

I was impressed with (1) the provision of methods for opting out of ads and (2) that these methods are both paid and free/earned - I would now love to see an option to buy premium membership for byc friends on birthdays or christmas.

Their attentivenrss to socio-economic disparity and "freedom from... " as well as "freedom to... " is almost unheard of on other social media.

For this reason the byc crew deserve special recognition.

While this is great work, inspiring, I'm still unclear on how much of my/our data is being harvested by third parties.

I imagine the byc privacy policy is gdpr-compliant so once I get a minute, I expect it to be a quick read.

I soooooo wish I was nearby and could some off your hands! They are so pretty!

By the way, did you tell my pet chicken to offer me blue egg layer chicks of $9 each? How else would they know? How?

Thank you very much. That is very helpful.

As I said it’s fun to see how our devices spy on us...
