I think my pessimism is just based purely on how other tech companies operate, and the nature of large publically traded companies, they have every obligation to make more cash for shareholders. There’s only so many ways to do that, cut costs, sell more, or raise prices. Easiest is to cut costs, so fewer admins on worse hardware. There’s always only so many customers who will ever buy, and demand elasticity determines how much they can charge at any given moment.
Advertisers are one customer they can work with really easily, I don’t doubt that posts could be seeded internally for those purposes. Again though, all this is hearsay based on poll numbers, just the nature of the beast informs my thoughts on it

Perhaps not, but I don’t doubt that it’s had an effect for the worse either way

Definitely not because going public shifted their obligations to trying to make as much money as possible

I like a lot of interpretations here, and while not strictly non religious, Gnosticism is more reverence of the knowledge rather than the institutions, worth looking into if you’re theocurious en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism

Problem isn’t your own use, it’s everyone using them, as a network of real time surveillance cameras at the beck and call of corpo terrorists

- Comment on Amazon to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033 with robots 2 weeks ago:
I dunno, this is way more personal than what the idiom usually presents, it isn’t really representative of most experiences. Now, I quit Amazon when they started pushing the 51st state merch, cause I can get most of what I used Amazon for straight from China and cut out the fascists playing scrape the value in the middle

You know, I did most of a business degree, and there wasn’t one iota of a lesson about heeding expertise, mostly just maximizing profits and how to trick people into buying your shit

Fuck dude, I drove 94 Acclaim across the country, and it was a pos then, but I miss that car. My current is a 05 Sierra, barebones, not even a radio anymore, I really like that it doesn’t have much to break, and it’s decently cheap to fix still

- Comment on Why do people hate reality? 4 weeks ago:
💯 Nothing is totally black and white, and there are things that don’t fit broadly for sure, humans are creative problems solvers too, some of these things are just solutions to problems, but there’s a team of marketers behind plenty of good ideas to try to turn them into some sort of pseudo drug
- Comment on Why do people hate reality? 4 weeks ago:
Eh, we’re all addicts in some capacity, and people have become really good at pushing those buttons. It’s kinda sad that this is what human nature is like, but it be how it be, the only thing you can do is be in charge of your own decisions

I feel a lot of the mortalities after 20 are things like infections. You really don’t have to go too far out of your way to stub a toe and ends up with sepsis. Things we’ve dealt with really effectively after a cure is detected.

Sensible response, we’ve gotten through it lol, thank you, yeah, if I see it causes this much fuss I guess I could, but that’s just gonna leave the artist in the cold too, cause I probably won’t bother sharing it in the first place

Okay the only thing that will absolve the whole unfuckableness of this conversation is, can you not see what the song is when you click the link to Spotify, and then spend ten seconds to google it? I’m just sharing links of songs I have favorited in Spotify, there’s no reason for the fucking purity tests on this.
