mPony@lemmy.worldtoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

1 year agoYou are so right. For social media, The Thing that makes their products great is us. They are really showing how little they understand us.
oh they’re betting on users/consumers making decisions en masse ; they just want to be able to instruct us what decisions to make and for us to follow through.
That’s what Facebook has been able to do, sometimes (see: targeted advertising that got #45 elected in the US.)
It doesn’t always work (see: numerous articles trying to cajole people to Return To Office work rather than Work From Home, to prop-up the value of office buildings.)
