Tree Reformat posted:But they are! Every time you post anything, anywhere (even here on SA, like we are right this moment!), you are trying to sell, at the very least, your opinion to an audience and hoping for engagement in return. The only people your position applies to are true lurkers who never, ever post a single thing themselves. Yeah and in the case of most social media, for most people, the specific audience they're hoping for is "people they actually know, who are following them/friends with them/whatever because they actually know them." The archetypal "just has lunch at x" poster isn't looking for algorithmic Engagement they just want to let people they actually know know what they're up to.

I doubt they even went to installers, a few software engineers got given a way-too-low budget and told to do it themselves

Basically every "bot stole it!" In the gbs thread has been followed up by the person who posted going "I can see their activity, they're following a bunch of goon poo poo now, it was just a lurker who didn't say anything after"

Twitter wasn't actually the single monolithic social media platform at any point, it was basically comparable to reddit in it's actual popularity, but it was the single social media platform all the journalists and academics posted on so it got an outsized treatment in the media landscape. Wherever all the journalists and academics end up congregating when the dust settles will basically then be the new twitter in that sense.

Name Change posted:The dumb way that Dorsey structured Twitter led directly to its takeover and destruction by Musk, so he's as much to blame for what's happened to the "public square" and thousands of jobs as Musk is. So it's definitely worth worrying about how much control he has over Bluesky. Musk was offering to so overpaying for it that I feel like just about any structure still would have lead to it's takeover and destruction other than 'jack dorsey personally owns all of twitter'

In video sponsers are almost certainly basically all based on clickthroughs/using whatever code they tell you to use in the video/etc. If you weren't ever going to click through in the first place you probably aren't taming any money away from the creator

duz posted:The law they passed should probably have done that instead of just forcing TikTok to sell itself to an American. I'm Pretty sure there are in fact laws about that but there is significant doubt about tiktok following them because of particularities of its corporate structure.
