Come on, that’s not fair. We get some things:
My neighbor got robbed when she posted about being away on holiday. What an experience!
And there was that time that some users had private messages made public due to a security glitch. I’m sure that ended more than a few relationships!
We get mass surveillance – that’s a pretty good one, yeah?.. No?
Hey, don’t forget the addiction and self esteem issues. Social media does much more!
Right side You Get: Disinformation, Abuse, And a host that is demonstrably leaning into a dictatorship.
That’s not true the users get fed a constant bullshit via a constant pipeline
Yeah, how much are the services of an algorithm geared toward maximizing outrage worth?! Gotta be something!

Facebook is a product that cost billions to develop. It scaled so fast at some point, they developed a big data framework on top of MySQL, cuz refactoring wasn’t an option. Their tech stack is the funniest chimera out there. And it only happened because everyone loved it so much. Facebook costs billions per year to run. And you get it for free. I mean, you pay with your data, just like on YouTube.
Lemmy, you show as usual that you cannot even basic math. You’re not entitled to criticize capitalism until you learn how to count. You sound stupid.
