It's a big irony to me that they were making users show their driver's license to ensure they were real people, and then the platform itself makes fake people.
Right, and what's even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they're bots posing as people.
That's arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.
But they'll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.
"Our bad bots good, your good bots bad". What a crazy world we live in.
"Our bad bots good, your good bots bad".
Textbook big brother stuff. We’re in 1984 but the corpos are the ones providing the daily hate
This is true.
How the tables have turned. They are actively abusing their users instead of protecting them.
Internet is becoming more like cable TV where these Social media companies produce content and all users become consumers. You are allowed to technically post but organic community interaction will die down and everyone becomes lurkers.
This has turned no tables whatsoever, Facebook/Meta was founded under the intention of abusing their users.
I think the table turning is in terms of what constitutes “content”, ostensibly the reason you’re on their service.
Standard tables: you sign up to this website to see stuff posted by people and pages you want to see, you can post your own if you wish
New and improved AI tables: bend over and enjoy the warmth of the slop cannon interspersed with Enhanced Consumer AI Personalized Advertising Experiences™
The user abuse was always part of the process no doubt.
I mean, we are, as a society, aware that social media is just entertainment and not true communication, right? Right?
Entertainment through parasocial relationships and voyeurism. And you can have parasocial relationships with people you actually know, not just celebrities and influencers.
