+1: Thought Provoking
Joke’s on you, Mark. I didn’t delete my Facebook account, just changed everything to lies.

This misses OP’s point. This is why those people would not want to be on reddit, and exactly why Reddit would not want them either.
In all these years I’ve never understood what the basic idea of this meme is.
It’s a pigeon.
Thanks, that completely clears it up lol.
No problem!
This is not the first great insight I’ve seen from SatansMaggotyCumFart.
Sometimes he’s really really insightful, and brilliant, and then other times he tells you something really really fucked up.
And in either case…he doesn’t care.
That’s why he’s good to have around
Define value ?
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: the m really fuckijg stupid. ELI5?
People who love privacy won’t be seeing adverts anyway because they’ll block them, get them off the platform to reduce server load (thus reducing costs) and only keep the users that will generate revenues.
The users who generate revenue are those who post. Someone who posts 1k a day but watches no ads is far more valuable than someone who watches 1k ads a day but never posts.
They’re only valuable if they bring more ad watching traffic
Placing privacy focused content into a user’s suggested feed is likely intentional. Why would any platform actively promote content that is opposed to the company’s business model. It seems rather nonsense for a place like YouTube to promote this type of content, yet they do. Perhaps that is intentional and purposeful. This kind of abstract and indirect problem solving is the kind of thing I am good at in a job if I am given objectives and time to mull over solutions.
Most humans display some kinds of paranoia. It is easy to spin privacy as a disproportionate evil because of the uncertainty of scope and motives involved. The act of suggesting a potential threat in the periphery a few times is enough to get most people to eventually engage with that content. It would be easy and effective to use this suggestive mechanism to push people off of a platform. This pattern loosely fits my experience. I bet it fits with others too. These platforms and ad companies have been hiring the best and brightest psych majors for a decade. All of that talent is used for something profitable.
i’m pretty sure i agree with you, but it took me far too long to understand what you’re saying. you’ve got a great vocabulary. your intended audience probably doesn’t.
