I think that any study you find over the past 30 years will show that while online relationships can be meaningful in some cases, the average person will not form as strong a connection as they would in person.

Because the #1 reason why employees will stay at a job that underpays them is because they like the people they work with. And you can’t form those bonds remotely.
Even if they do remove it, I’m sure a browser extension will just step in to mimic it as best as possible.
I don’t use Facebook so I don’t know -
Why can’t you just have a group text with your family.
The psychological ramifications of that are immense. It would destroy people. It would be no different than any other drug.
Waiting for a Primus fan to make the joke
Reddit is going to have to make the argument that it just boosts “what people like” and it just so happens people like negative engagement.
And I mean it’s been known for decades that people like bad news more than good news when it comes to attention and engagement.
Yeah the problem is there would never be any reason for companies to even try to make working from home work unless some life or death event like COVID forced them to.
There was never going to be an easy transition for them. It was either nothing or against their will.
Well it’s like a super tape recorder that can play back anything anyone has ever said on the internet.
Imagine what would happen if a bunch of huge fully-remote companies with no office space were told by the government that they now had to buy a building for workers to work in.
Imagine how fast their opinion would switch.
The way you keep employees and build a strong team is by giving them things you aren’t obligated to provide.
So what you’re telling me is that written tests have, in fact, existed before?
What are you some kind of education historian?

Average police officer salary in the US is 60k.
Do you know the average salary in the US? Also 60k.
Wouldn’t you rather have an average job instead of an “I could be killed today” job? We all would.
And so the only people that actually want to take average salary at the risk of death are people that are power-hungry and murder-hungry.
You aren’t gonna get better training at this salary level. You aren’t going to get a system that pays Walmart Manager salary that also has some rigorous hiring and training process that teaches you how to make split second life or death decisions.
This isn’t the secret service. It’s Walmart Managers with guns.
Sure but you can just as easily spend zero cents in other games and get 10x the content.

It’s just the normal capitalist cycle.
Can you imagine some marketing firm contacting intel to pay for the user data scraped by their customers GPUs?
Like how is that real.
Yeah the issue is that with large online communities, your largest user group is always going to be that of least engagement.
So users who just read stuff is your biggest group. Then comes users who made an account. Then comes users who up and downvote. And last comes users who post.
It makes it very hard to grow a new social media platform.
I’m not limiting this to work.
And of course you can have a relationship with someone remotely.
But overall, for the average person, in-person relationships are going to be stronger. Friends, family, romantic relationships, hobbies, work, you name it.
