I feel Facebook cheated the rest of the industry/internet Zuckerberg, who stole Facebook from a bunch of others, had fraudulent metrics the whole way Other companies felt obliged to try to copy their “success”. So quality went down across every other service. They tried to have many more return on investment rather than their own moderately successful business model (which was also profitable)
I’m so tired of incompetent CEOs like Neal Mohan You would be fired from any other job
I’m actually in a pretty fucking terrible place My sleep schedule is obliterated and I have so many things in my life I have to fix
Zuck was on top of the world post Covid (His product wasn’t, it hasn’t been functional for years, so much spam, unnecessary notifications and so on) He could point to varying things about the dangers of trying to pigeon hole what misinformation was and wasn’t Instead, Facebook made it official policy that it’s ok to call LGBT mentally ill (Also, what does it even mean to report something, such that that makes a difference? “This does not violate community guidelines” is pretty common) (Also has anyone asked Peter thiel, a gay man, what he thinks about this?) To me it just proves who he always was, an adaptive shape shifting snake
Can’t trust Google because they like to censor Can’t trust Facebook because the ceo is shit Can’t trust any App Store Tech is universally bad in a way they transcends politics (though it should be said zuck isn’t merely right leaning; I think he’s infinitely adaptive) Apparently Google does actually protect data well
I’m so mad at how shit tech is Facebook is a non starter. Zuck is a terrible person Reddit censors everything YouTube/google censor everything And of course all of them chase metrics that make their products worse and worse and worse and worse
I know nothing about Maduro or the situation there But it’s fascinating to see the dichotomy between people celebrating and the negative comments on the other hand from leftists (among which, totally captured and inorganic Reddit) My political beliefs have changed a lot in the last few years, I no longer believe a lot of the things we’re being told “Leftists” can be living in their own world - sometimes
I like Sam Harris but he can’t move beyond the Covid vaccine dichotomy He seems to think the only objection to it is from ignorant fringe science maga people
It’s a little weird in eastern time to have nye when the rest of the world has had it for ages
Zuckerberg went from “I regret censoring Covid info” (though I think Facebook funded fact check orgs) - which is legitimate, and people in a vacuum should not have revolted against it on political bias grounds - to “it’s now official policy that it’s ok to call lgbt mentally ill” I’ve dithered a bit about him over the years trying to give him benefit of doubts (and especially trying to defend him when it comes to politics because people don’t realize they’ve been lied to, you know) but I honestly don’t think he has a shred of ethics in his body at all, he lies and I’m sure he was probably happy to censor Covid, anything to serve power (if I’m wrong then I’m wrong) (The fact does remain that the population does think vaccine = safe and lockdowns and masks = necessary so they’re liable to push back against him purely on grounds of politics and “science” hence the initial wanting by me to defend him - also Google/youtube suck at this too, they do so much censorship)
