The Picard ManeuverReddit: everyone you know is a propaganda bot
mercI don’t use them, but from what I’ve heard, aren’t Facebook and Instagram more like “We’ll get to everyone you know in a bit, but first, here’s an influencer. Now here’s an ad. Here’s someone you don’t know but is famous. Here’s a viral post by someone else you don’t know. Here’s another ad…”
TankovayaDiviziyaMy investment platform probably sold my data to Instagram. I don’t know about others, but I am seeing posts on my feed glazing over the billionaires.
Like, I don’t want to be a billionaire, I just want enough f.u. money to have a comfortable life!
It’s intolerable, I don’t know why anyone is okay with getting posts from the algorithm shoved in their feed.
FriskyDingoYeah, that’s why I only use the browser. Only use the app for the rare post and it’s a nightmare of ads
On the bright side, that shit made breaking the “check out what’s happened on fb since I last checked” habit easier, especially as someone who was already a Fark/reddit user and regularly click the comments. It’s no wonder Ken M did so well, even his character was smarter than average on there.
