Somehow the thought of FB and it’s majority stockholders making less money just really doesn’t matter that much to me. Am I crazy?

Yeah, it’s called mainly primal, ruthless, testosterone fueled greed and exploitation. We could use way less of it. It’s slavery in modern form.
If you’re talking about user-to-user privacy, there’s 4chan
This. People - and more importantly Facebook - seem to think that with 14.5 that ALL ad-tracking will BLOCKED It won't. It just gives people the option. I'm gonna bet that 90% of every day users are going to see that pop up - get confused - not understand it - and just tap "Yes" so they can get through to Facebook.
Emphasis on “user-to-user” privacy regarding 4chan, which is on the back-end wide open to tracking from any and all intelligence agencies and is likely an intentional honey pot, thus it’s inability to be shut down despite all it’s controversies over the years.
The powers that be won’t allow there to be a 4chan style open forum and also end-to-end encryption and true anonymity. Look at how much they attacked the Signal App for trying to add 1,000 people groups with end-to-end encryption. The Verge wrote an entire article warning us of the dangers of true anonymity in groups and reminded us of the hand that is guiding what platforms we are allowed to use and not use. Not to mention Gab & Parler’s path down this road.
How does The Verge justify that end-to-end encryption is bad outside of direct communication between 2-people? Quoting the article directly
“Employees worry that, should Signal fail to build policies and enforcement mechanisms to identify and remove bad actors, the fallout could bring more negative attention to encryption technologies from regulators at a time when their existence is threatened around the world.

That’s basically what Clubhouse is. Because the VCs themselves are blood thirsty vultures the app is very forceful about trying to get your contacts phone numbers. There is no other way to invite people. Then once they open the app the first thing you are recommended is to follow serial liars, serial financial criminals in the crypto world and serial scammers. All friends of the VCs. There are no privacy controls in the app and you are forced to watch one scam chat after another scam chat full of scammers, cultists and parasites on your Clubhouse homepage.
Clubhouse and social media CEOs in a nutshell. They want to destroy your mental health and then get you addicted. Then they force their investment ideas on you which are all forms of Ponzi schemes that make them rich and make you into a dumb slave dreaming of becoming rich on internet magic beans that consume all the electricity in the world and encourage more crimes.
bruh same thing happens to a lot of people lately! It is creepy!!
It starts by using full words to describe things n not wanting to follow cliques to be cool or with an in crowd. Then missing out isn’t such a big deal.
ps: I had to look up FOMO on my iPhone built in dictionary.
Anybody here seen that special of former FB, Twitter, and other social media quants n coders that built their enterprises?
these coders where so beyond, their understanding of what makes people click a button influenced by their need to boost saratonin (spelled wrong I know) that influences button click attention span undivided attention. It’s insanely mind boggling!! Many of these coders left because they KNEW they’ve SEEN what this future we now live in would become.
they’ve seen millennials grow up with mental illness brought on by social media, their need to fit in, their consciousness dependent on being super important amongst their peers, how every thought every word every emotion has to be expressed with immediacy and the desire to be heard tapped into their chemical responses or makeup they’ll loose their sh*t if they don’t get it out, not heard and lord forbid if their not paid attention too.
ADD, ADHD, BPD ... and so many more mental illnesses have become so common now in youth that doctors haven’t a clue what their facing or how to treat these illnesses. Like the plethora of drugs these doctors prescribe and try to ram down these kids throats (like FB ads lol ) it’s like a an alphabet soup of illnesses has replaced street drugs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope this will bring companies back to targeted media that has targeted audience. Like we wont see adds for baby products on here but relevant tech adds. It can support good journalism as those just runining for clicks could get less revenue.
But then Facebook would say that the vast majority of iOS users think Facebook is number 1.Instead of a simple Yes or No choice, can Apple add a middle finger response to this question?
Facebook makes Madison Avenue look a like a bunch of cute, lovable, puppies.
I am OK with this type of advertising. When I am at a role playing game site, I actually click on some of the ads because they are ads for games that look like they might be interesting.
I've seen this a few times... something I only discussed (not searched for) appearing in ads (e.g. holiday spots)... if there is some audio monitoring going on you'd think someone would blow the whistle as this would be a *major* story and give said whistleblower at least 15 minutes of fame to monetize.
One of the many reasons I'll never go back to android/windows (Except for gaming, of course)
Ok but don’t pretend it’s your main reason for fighting Apple over this implementation. Sure make a profit but be truthful with the reasons and methods to do it
AND... Everything is imagecrafted. Everything. My own sister posts tons of crap on Facebook and I know that her life is far, far different from the crap she posts. Everything is sunshine and lollipops in her posts and pictures.
Colour me shocked that Facebook is only self-serving and lying about sticking up for the little guy.
