  • This is a bit of a learning experience though.

    The big tech companies advocated during 2020 that they were not biased and should not be held responsible for policing the Internet.

    Since then, FB swapped to Meta to cover up the documents showing FB is intentionally causing psychological damage our children because it gives them more clicks/view time.

    OpenAI scraped the Internet, legally and illegally to power ChatGPT.

    Twitter, a social media company known for free speech, was bought by Musk, a former Trump associate. Trump was reinstated during this period and dissent was banned.

    Google decided to push web DRM to force us to use their software or else we can't access the Internet.

    Sounds like they very much want to police the Internet. We just aren't putting the pieces together in a collective way.

  • Oh fuck. I didn't know this was around the same time. I literally tell everyone about how shit FB is and this proves it 1000x.

    If you have a daughter or are a daughter, you should hate meta. They're inspiring a generation of self hating women and they have the data to prove it.

  • Isn't the argument the other way around? No one would pay for this shit, so we have to bundle it with our better products.

    That's kinda like saying we should make phone makers stop bundling chargers because it damages the charger industry..

  • Imagine you're a builder and you build a store (website). People can come into your store through the door or window. WEI will make sure you come through the door just as the builder intended.

    At face value, that sounds fine, but now imagine that builder puts a maze (all of the ads littered on a webpage) on the other side of the door. It's a pain in the ass to get through and someone (adblock) has told you about the window that lets you skip the maze. You can get what you want and the store gets to sell a thing. Everyone's happy except the maze builder (Google), so they're trying to force the entire world to go through the maze.

  • Depends on the company size and location. I'm on a small dev team but we service the entire company (national). As a result, any product we put out has a huge potential. Last year, I put out a product and spent this year marketing it and improving it for the users. In just about a year, it's become the most adopted product in our company and really changed the workflow for our end users.
