Uh wow… TIL. Absolutely not an unbiased source whatsoever.
Maybe it’s just morbid fascination with the slow motion trainwreck that’s Twitter?
Yup. That’s been my experience too.
I also get aggressively pushed some conservative news sources in my main feed even though I never subscribed to any of those.
This sucks. I really liked SmartNews but this explains why it’s been so terrible as of late.
What’s funny is Google pushed me to turn off all my targeted ad preferences + watch history on YT. I basically did what you did and they started pushing me PragerU and other weird conservative ads, so I just straight turned everything personalized off. And pretty much stopped using the platform.
Keming strikes again!
I was just amazed that it took him so long to roll out a predatory monetization model…
Unfortunately, Twitter was only up for sale because it wasn’t able to effectively monetize. On the other hand, Meta has figured out how to make money hand over fist.
I think the easiest route to get Musk to own Meta is if we goaded him + Zuck into a pay per view fist fight over ownership of Meta.
Given that they make >$30B a quarter in revenue, probably not. They probably count the fine of $100k/day as a cost of doing business.
Yeah, angrily jabbing a phone screen realllllyyyy does not have the same satisfaction whatsoever.
