Bye guys, guess none of us are really here
unphazed@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think, therefore I am.
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Good. Social media was only ever the corporate commodified communications platforms.

“your honor, in my defense my website sucks. like really sucks. like try using it for a good purpose. it is inherently evil.”
shaggyb@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well I say Mark Zuckerberg is over.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Yeah I wonder who could possibly be responsible for that… Tis a mystery
Etterra@discuss.online 1 year ago
So you going to shut down Facebook right Mark? Right Mark?
J52@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
Hahaha, not a fast learner… Own it bro, FB is over…
echodot@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Clearly the solution is to spread more conspiracy theories. People are obviously leaving due to the lack of conspiracy theories.

Has been for a while. If you look at most recent marketing analysis, numbers weren’t like they were peak pandemic and 2016. It was declining since then, you just chilling with bots mostly.
technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I would probably think that too if I ran Facebook.
Zugyuk@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Thought this was a press release thing… Like: Social media is dead… Now it’s “Meta-media” dabs as crowd collectively faints
auginator@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Has been over for a while. Unless you call ads social media. It’s all ads.
el_puercoespin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Right. They got greedy and made it more shitty for profit. Users left and now its one of these free weekly papers with ads and classified ads. Now they are considering filling the gap of missing user content with AI so it will be a circular system without humans at one point.
futatorius@lemm.ee 1 year ago
So he’s trying to rename it to avoid accountability? Fuck that.
pewgar_seemsimandroid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
probably also somehow related to theads being federated

It’s such an easy fix too. Create a separate wall that only contains your friend’s OC (not reshared garbage).
It’s about 3 posts per day for someone with 200 friends, but I’d take it.
limelight79@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You actually can nearly do that. Facebook inexplicably showed me how a few weeks ago. If a friend reshares something, you’ll see it, but it removes all groups, etc. It was stunning how little content actually comes from friends.
On the Facebook site (I’m sure it can be done via app, too, but I didn’t look), click on the menu near the top right, then click Feeds (under Social). Then click on Friends on the left.
ndupont@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wow, is does. Thanks for that
boonhet@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Too late for that. We have TikTok now. Everyone needs a new dopamine hit every 3 seconds and god forbid you run out of new things in your feed.
The era of social media IS over. Even if you make a good one.
gruvn@lemm.ee 1 year ago
So… original, unshittified Facebook?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’m amazed that’s not what FB still is. I apparently bailed before the worst of it because I don’t recall seeing random people’s posts on my feed.
carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He should know, he fucking killed it
TheBlackLounge@lemm.ee 1 year ago
“Social media is dead, and we killed it.”
lemmyingly@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Killed it, as in they were awesome and won, or as in unalived. The quote by itself could mean either.
merdaverse@lemmy.world 1 year ago
“How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?”

After the android downloads all the data on the Internet, like a dalek.

An opinion from the guy who thinks the metaverse is a viable product? Yeah I’ll pass

Mark Zuckerberg Says For-Profit Social Media Is Over
ftfy
MagicShel@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Exactly this. “We have maxed out the amount of money we can extract from people and have reached diminishing returns on profitability.”
Why can’t anyone just create a billion dollar company that makes something people like and then be happy they can consistently earn $200m per year? Maybe ask the people what kinds of features they want and improve the service to increase the value to users once you need something for your staff to do when the product is complete.
ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Large corporations buy up disruptive companies like that
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Yeah, if I was Zuck, I would’ve left it more or less as it was in the 2010s, and then moved on to making adjunct services to create a Google/Yahoo-like ecosystem. Oh, and open the API so interesting services could be built on it. Instead, they maximized profitability and bought their way to an ecosystem.
nyan@lemmy.cafe 1 year ago
Because modest returns don’t attract investment, so whoever set it up would have to fund the startup out of pocket and never go public or sell the company off. Not quite impossible, but very unlikely (unless the world changes and investors start getting more sensible about profits).
sundray@lemmus.org 1 year ago
Over?
Give me your profits, then.
Ilixtze@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Washed up trend chaser monopolist wannabe millionaire! Of course your social platforms are over: YOU MADE THEM SHIT!

masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Social media said Mark Zuckerberg was over and sadly I think neither are right.
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 year ago
hell yeah! rest in hell
but tbh it’s not, old people love it

lol you didn’t read the article
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 year ago
damnit you got me, i actually did read it afterwards and realised my comment was wrong but then just left it as it has 9 updoots
CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 year ago
He should know, he’s the one that put a shotgun in its mouth over a decade ago.
ToadOfHypnosis@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Centralized for profit social media should be over.
Bogasse@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Did zuck say anything relevant to the market in the past 10+years?
It’s a provocation but I’m also kinda curious, with the level of information and consulting he has access to he must be choosing the topics he is relevant about?
