Comment on Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains

That’s all well and good, but the problem remains: Namely, the fact that Meta earns far more every day than all companies worldwide earn from the sale of T-shirts put together - much,much more. And Meta pretty much doesn’t even sell anything (Oculus, c’mon). They mainly just sell massive reach for advertisements and PR (influencing opinions). In addition they sell, the personal data of users to make it work devilishly acuarate. As long as the vast majority don’t care how this business model works and what power the centralization of attention means for their reality, nothing will change, I’m afraid.
