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

That is just where we want Meta ;)

Zuck always looks like a child doing his best impression of an adult while wearing his dad's suit

Itt: People with as much empathy as Zucc the Cuck shitting on people who don't want to be homeless.

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 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

And there will only be bots looking at it.

Isn’t this the dead internet theory

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world -5 points 13 hours ago

So what if it's AI generated?

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 points 11 hours ago

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

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

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We should import some French culture

[–] gandalf_der_12te@feddit.org 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] barnacul@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Well they did figure shit out eventually

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 12 hours ago

Still an improvement

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hear the Americans are importing a lot of South Afrucan culture tgese days

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

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

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] Jjoiq@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stop using FaceBook. Problem solved.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And whatsapp and Instagram

[–] cheat700000007@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Those are the ones people have an issue dumping

[–] Gamechanger@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They are just AI washing, they got problems and I love it!

[–] XLE@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

The final stage of enshittification in motion.

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?

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

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

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

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

/s

[–] CombatWombat@feddit.online 11 points 1 day ago

I am certain they had no other choice

[–] underThunder@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, Zuckerberg was so successful with his pivot to the metaverse so why not?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 13 hours ago

The amazing thing about that is that it wasn't even a particularly bad idea, it was just implemented badly.

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

Gosh darn the luck!

[–] db2@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

How terrible. A crying shame. Anyway..
