The payments never happened earlier and are now completely arbitrary because nobody on the team knows how to find the right metrics

A few pages back, but there are a lot of people who seem to need to use a social media app owned by big tech with algorithmically-generated newsfeed and monetised via ads. And many of these people are opting for Threads, acknowledging that Meta is a bad company, but suggesting that it’s the lesser of two evils. Meta was found by the UN to have played a “determining role” in a loving genocide. Whether or not you assess in good faith that Meta is in fact the “lesser evil” compared to Elon’s Twitter (and this is at the very least debatable), you have to acknowledge it stills leave them so beyond-the-pale, horrendously evil that it’s really hard to justify using their service as a somehow moral decision. Musk is a white supremacist transphobe. Zuck has been complicit in a genocide. You don’t need to support either. Honestly it reminds me of the liberals who longed for the halcyon days of Bush Jr during the Trump presidency; yeah yeah the Iraq war was bad, but at least he had some decorum, right? If you’re not ready to quit these platforms forever, I’d honestly recommend just trying a break for a couple of weeks or a couple of months and seeing how you feel after a hiatus.

I’m fully sold on the idea the users and amounts were handpicked by elon. I know people earn stupid crazy money from youtube and twitch and what have you but this seems really suss. At first I figured it was his investment against people jumping to threads, like “hey if you post lots you’ll make mad money” but most the people that he paid (that I’ve seen) are rightwing scum and/or bootlickers who were never going to leave. I wouldn’t put it past him to have contacted them all and added something like “this payment is contingent on your continued post on my hellsite and not posting on zucks hellsite.”

We can probably agree that there are hundreds of millions of people, unfortunately, who are social media addicted. They're going to use one of these platforms, and they aren't going to give much thought as to who is running them or what they've done, so long as they can engage with their favourite people, etc. Saying "why not just not use SM at all?" is a pretty dumb suggestion even if it is well intentioned. You're objectively right in that Meta shouldn't be lionised in this whole thing, and I'm not entirely sure they are. People just want to see Musk fail, for good reason in so far as he's boosting far-right shitheels and being an overall oval office, so they are celebrating Meta/Zuckerberg dunking on him. It's ok for that to be the beginning and end of the thought process, though. The enemy of my enemy can also still be my enemy.

Durzel posted:You have to play the cards you're dealt. So what is to be done? Saying “why not smoke cigarettes at all?” was at one point a pretty dumb and idealistic point of view, and we are now way past the point of peak cigarette use in some cultures. I’m probably a bit more passionate about it at this particular juncture because people seem willing to quit something (Twitter), so it seems like an opportune moment to ask people to question their SM use entirely. If not now, when? And perhaps an unpopular opinion: I’m openminded to the idea that in a global context, Meta is the greater evil than Twitter, even if Zuck is personally less abhorrent than Musk. Which is to say, if someone told me they HAD to use at least one platform to feed their SM addiction, Twitter might be the lesser of two evils in a Twitter/Meta dilemma. To argue the opposite is to claim that Elon has caused more harm running Twitter than FB contributed to in Myanmar and Ethiopia/Eritrea.

double irony of this, aside from the obvious one, is that the biggest payout (over $100.000) was to an account that literally just reposts screenshots of tweets apparently (Internet hall of fame).

A different approach would be to start treating social media as a public service and not a for-profit data gathering enterprise ran by companies with no accountability other than to their shareholders (but then you have to figure out what to do after you hand over social media to public administration and said public administration turns out to be fascist)

Meta is worth 20x what Twitter was (even at the ridiculous price that E-Muck paid for it). It's probably the greater evil, but, again, I want to see zuck Mortal Kombat Elon real bad, so really who can tell who is the greater evil??

I agree that, historically, Meta has been worse than Twitter but it’s not so clear that that will continue in the future. One platform is banning overt fascists while the other is paying them thousands of dollars. We are in kind of a unique position right now where encouraging use of Threads could kill Twitter for good which would leave everyone free to focus on Facebook next. One battle at a time.
