This is crystal clear now, but it was less clear before.
I started saying that social media finally figured out how to monetize the platform and it’s customers aren’t people, aren’t even companies, the customers are now billionaires and foreign governments.
We have billionaires starting 1 million dollar lotteries to make people vote certain way and you are worried that a singer’s opinion will affect the outcome?
I understand concern about scientific concepts, but who in your mind has the authority to talk about politics? IMO everyone should have freedom to talk about it, because when it comes to politics no one really is an “expert”.
Maybe he is talking about height?
Actually US is late to the party: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_TikTok
Why no loops.video?
Hopefully Europe is not as corrupted and won’t make the same mistakes :(
Twitter also looked great until it didn’t, it even comes from the same guy.
While at this moment BlueSky looks good, we will end up the same way sooner or later. Muskov et. al. figured out how to monetize social media. Now Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and others are tools to manufacture opinion. And certain opinions are worth a lot to certain people.
That’s a red herring, they still have full control of the network.
It’s even weirder, as he apparently did not intended to visit.
I am surprised myself, but making progress of not using their products. For example did not buy any gift via Amazon this Christmas.
Oh, c’mon, who’s going to tell him he is the best dad? He needs them.
Fun fact: the founders threw out musk, before it became PayPal, he actually wanted it to be called X, he was hoarding that domain since then.
Is at least the California’s net neutrality law in effect?
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/431970-fb-clean-my-feeds-5-02 makes you realize how empty the Facebook actually is.
I use clean my feeds grease monkey script to hide it and only show my friends and groups I subscribed to and it makes it so easy to see how much of things that it shows is just their stuff and how dead the Facebook really is.
People are still think social media is social. They think that when they post something, all their friends will see it.
In reality what each person sees is determined by the feed algorithm. They can use all the things they know about you and present you content that will press your buttons and change your opinion about topics.
The biggest issue though is to have a proper content. This is where generative AI comes in and this is why owners of social media are so much invested in it.
They basically have platform like the old MSM, except all content is specifically tuned to every person.
