I login to Instagram and I see: - Ad promoting "investment" platform with deep fakes of personalities - Ad from radicalized politician promoting hate speech - Semi-naked girl promoting their "other" social media (OnlyFans) - Ad disguised as content of some dude promoting a random restaurant I agree with Zuckerberg, it's not social media anymore. I don't see content from any friend, only scams. | |||||||||||||||||

I've noticed that every single website that I enjoy on the internet is non-profit. Did we optimize for the wrong metric since the beginning? | |||||||||||||||||

My YouTube account had recommendations for music because that's what I use it for. When they launched YT Shorts (basically their version of TikTok), that section was 75% thirst trap videos, albeit still music-related. Like "cool violin solo" but played by a girl sorta pointing the camera up her skirt in the thumbnail. I never watched those or anything similar, but I guess they knew I was male and wanted to hook me. | |||||||||||||||||
