On the one hand, AI bots don’t buy things, so maybe advertisers will finally wake up and stop pour cash into Fecesbook and its subsidiaries?
On the other hand, the Butlerian Jihad can’t come soon enough…
Are you sure?
Not for themselves, and not outside of fraud… yet.
But give it time. 
I’d like to “virtual signal” Zuck right in his stupid face.
I left Facebook in 2018 – their “paid protestors funded by George Soros” bullshit was the last of many straws. I do not miss it at all. I started my own blog, which doesn’t get many readers and they don’t comment, but that’s totally fine. (There’s a lot of talking about synth stuff and a lot of personal stuff and it’s kind of a mess.)
I miss pre-2007 Livejournal so much.
I’m seriously pondering leaving Instagram. I’ve enjoyed posting photos at times. But people I actually know well have been posting less and less, and I find myself mostly just scrolling past stuff I don’t care about and ads (including scummy ads for questionable supplements and “male enhancement” bullshit) that have been increasingly taking over the feed. Sometimes I’ll see cute animal photos or neat nature photos or something but those tend to be random accounts and I bet Flickr or something would give me that same thing without even signing in.
For now I removed the app from my launcher home screen and logged out of it… after a few days I’ll download all my photos and consider cancelling my account.
And lots of ads for cheep crap with the name “TRUMP” printed on it.
ETA
They’re walking this statement back in the replies, but their defense is basically “we trusted meta”
Thankfully it hasn’t tried to promote Trumpian garbage at me or I’d have bailed out faster.
YouTube does keep trying to show me Joe Rogan shit, but probably because I have all sorts of stuff disabled and adblockers and everything else so they have no idea what I do and don’t like.
I don’t know why I get the Trump stuff. Just a few minutes ago I got an ad selling a “Greetings from the Gulf of America” t-shirt. I suppose I get them because I leave pithy replies and then report the ad for promoting an organized hate group, and all Instagram cares about is engagement regardless if it is positive or negative.
Replies such as:
- This coffee gave me autism.
- The US should not be ruled by ancient fairy tales.
- I ordered these coins and they were plastic.
- Republicans are so easily conned.
Brazil is the sovereign badass I wish the USA could be.
But on the other hand…
