    @joshsutphin Mind blowing.

    You're a user of the system, you have a FB account? Yep ok, you're the product, you'll get what they give you because you're choosing to participate.

    You're an advertiser? Totally friggin different story here. The answer is always "because I'm paying you money and it's what I want" and man it really speaks to the sociopathy of the industry and of Zuck's approach that you'd have to justify why you do or don't want to spend money on a facet of their services.

    @josh I think the part that gets me the absolute worst—and this is true of so much modern software—is where they just change the thing out from under us after we've paid for it. It's like buying a car wash but then instead of washing the car they just rotate your tires. Nobody would be okay with that! But software does this all the gd time! 😬

    Anyway your username/avi combo speaks to me at a cellular level

    And this all seems to be a part of the larger, "We have demand for our AI products" grift. Google did this to my stupid Drive account, turning it into a Drive + AI account, with AI features I neither need nor want, but they can now claim I'm paying for because I still pay for using Drive. It's a house of cards.
