Post-based social networks feel like such an aged-out technology. I’d almost respect it more if they said, We’re building a TikTok competitor and we have engineered the savviest content algorithm of all time.

This kind of thinking is why I still think U.S. tech companies and Silicon Valley in general has still not found the bottom. How pathetic do you have to be to look at Social Media and decide that after For Profit Businesses tried to monetize the idea of digital community spaces and it failed spectarlularly to the point that kids don’t even think it is cool anymore… that there must be no other way and “post-based social networks” are on there way out?

Literally the only thing we have tried is structuring social networks so that they must make a massive profit for investors and are all universally owned by insane billionaires.

You know how you know someone is full of shit? They point to things other people are doing and say “why are they doing that, that isn’t the trend?” when the question at its heart wasn’t about following a trend or not it was about a vision for the future.
