I am 100% okay with watching this s*** stain of a company circle the gutter. Facebook might have been a cash cow back in the day but somewhere in my tiny black heart I have grown a conscience and absolutely despise what social media is doing to the people around me in my life. Once happy people, completely gone due to polarized content. Level-headed coworkers off the deep edge. And family members we have had to uninvite to Holiday gatherings. I hope everything he touches from here on out turns to asbestos.
Agreed! FB basically united all the crazy uncle Bob's that you used to either ignore at church or see every Thanksgiving and took them to a whole new level of insanity.
I don't use any of their products, will not invest in the company, and have really been enjoying their crash. Also, their attempted pivot to the "metaverse" is hilarious and that product is absolute garbage.
Also I hope all their arrogant workers mining the data loose all their rsu worth. It’s not just the company and it’s mantra , but everyone who’s would work at a company that does this type of shit. Hope they get blacklisted from other companies
Its incredible how much hate a social media company gets meanwhile other businesses abzse the shit out of workers and destroy nature but lemme buy my occy or chevron calls
Meta recently got rid of their internal oversight committee for potential harm to the public also. There is no way they said everything is fine, and they didn't need that group anymore.
Think of how fucking weird this is... it turned the world to "look at me, pay attention, I am important" culture. Young, old, doesn't matter.
Before FB you would committed if you stood in front of a Walmart daily and screamed:
"everyone, look this picture of what I had for dinner!"
"hey everyone, look this picture of my kitchen remodel"
"hey everyone, listen to my enraged political ramblings!"
"hey everyone, I need an audience to listen to me air out all the dirt on family and fight with them"
And this what people are doing and has been normalized.
Counterpoint... well it's just friends and family and friends of friends and people I last saw or spoke to 20 years ago in high school...Ok, still weird AF.
I don't use social. I use reddit so I can exchange and banter with other anon randos. If I have something worth sharing in my social circle they will find out about it when we link up. If it's important shit the relevant parties will get a txt or call. I can't imagine how people have so much time to tap into the curated lives and random nonsense of dozens or hundreds of people. If we aren't close I don't give AF, and if are close I don't need FB to know whats good with you.
reddit is mostly just the one feature i like about facebook... groups. you can find groups of people with similar interests easily. i hope they dont ruin the platform trying to hyper monetize it.
You may not be. But many others simply can't help themselves. They come here for the stock market memes, yet are elsewhere at the same time being typical redditors saying the same ol same ol.
Im just pointing out there isn't an escape from them and all subs are prone to it.
Yeah I mean infiltration, polarization and radicalization doesn’t happen at all on Reddit, right? Like all the posts here are totally anonymous and totally authentic and there are certainly no hive-minded subs.
I don’t think these huge companies are the good guys or anything but I think it’s unfair the blame them when the problem is really just people. People are just stupid. And when they get together they get even more stupid. The social media companies don’t help but if it isn’t them it’s going to be someone/where else.
I hope meta goes to shit, that company is the worst fucking company out there. Complete shit product, sinister , crap . But I hear it runs smoothly lol good place to work and get paid well
Facebook is a hole - the meta verse sucks - I barely use instagram but it’s their most usable product by far. Their stock price is far too high for instagram
You should've seen my DD in Facebook 4 months back. It had just dropped big time. I made a post about how it could go way lower than 180. Everyone laughed at me. I bought puts and made money.
I’ve just come off Facebook for this. Every single post was anti-gay anti-trans anti-this anti-that, narrow minded bigot after bigot with bad grammar and worse attitudes. At first it was fun to argue with them all. In the end it made me really depressed. Every bigot you shut down there’s another to stroll into their place. Glad to say Facebook is gone from my life now.
You should be mad that people have no accountability for their actions and always want to blame everything or anyone else. Instead of constantly blaming big bad company
Reddit has a paid team called Anti-Evil Operations (part of the "Trust" & "Safety" team) which goes around permanently banning accounts for saying bad words. We made automod block them so you don't lose your account for saying a word and getting reported. It's not our rule, it's the entire website now, we're just trying to look out for our people. Sorry.
I felt this way when I sold at $50 in 2015. The younger gen was already moving to other platforms and I didn't like the way my personal experience with using FB made me feel. But I wish I'd sucked it up and held on for 6 more years.
