Amazing for motivation: “Everyone is unhappy; the only people who are not unhappy are, literally, executives,” an Instagram employee told WIRED”

Firing people while you're making record profits. Doesn't get more American than that

Don't conflate those racist pieces of shit with real South Africans and their culture.

the french revolution immediately turned into a terror regime and after that, the napoleonic wars.

Hey investors: Think how much money Facebook could save by firing the CEO that decided to rename the whole company after a failed product.

He renamed Facebook to meta because the leak of Facebook data to Cambridge Analytica and revelations by whistle blower Frances Haugen damaged the Facebook brand.

Fortunately it worked very well for him and we all have a very positive view of meta.

The thing is, Meta are making more money than ever. Will this continue? At what point will things become unsustainable so that the house of cards collapses?

We could be beyond it. What hasn't happened quite yet are things like failing currencies, but it's entirely possible we are beyond the point of no return. Once the giant ring of investments catches up with itself, the snake eats its own tail, the bottom drops out, and the greatest economic crash the world has ever seen stampedes unfettered through the lives of every person on the planet.

"Are making more money than ever" is a administrative subjective term. Your checks are as balanced as your willing to show in your books.

What’s “Meta”? Is that like a clothing brand or something?

in 10 years, nobody will use instagram because every post will be AI generated. or rather, you won't be able to tell whether it's AI generated.
Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 84d
And there will only be bots looking at it.
billwashere@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 84d
Isn’t this the dead internet theory
MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 84d
So what if it's AI generated?
KyuubiNoKitsune@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 84d
Itt: People with as much empathy as Zucc the Cuck shitting on people who don't want to be homeless.

The amazing thing about that is that it wasn't even a particularly bad idea, it was just implemented badly.
db2@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 85d
How terrible. A crying shame. Anyway..

I'd care slightly more if they didn't all work for Meta.
