It's a big irony to me that they were making users show their driver's license to ensure they were real people, and then the platform itself makes fake people.
Right, and what's even as bizarre to me (as an engineer) is that they're bots posing as people.
That's arguably the most deceptive and malicious way to use a bot on a site meant for real people.
But they'll quickly block any helpful bots anyone else tries to integrate on the platform.
"Our bad bots good, your good bots bad". What a crazy world we live in.
This is true.
How the tables have turned. They are actively abusing their users instead of protecting them.
Internet is becoming more like cable TV where these Social media companies produce content and all users become consumers. You are allowed to technically post but organic community interaction will die down and everyone becomes lurkers.
I mean, we are, as a society, aware that social media is just entertainment and not true communication, right? Right?
Entertainment through parasocial relationships and voyeurism. And you can have parasocial relationships with people you actually know, not just celebrities and influencers.
