Facebook.
Instagram.
Youtube.All being pumped full of 1080x1920 TikTok style junk. Which feels like:
mixed with strictly come dancing, some random cooking show and some odd chinese factory worker that is super efficient at making some plastic thing on the factory conveyor belt.
Obviously they are trying to get kids back onto their platforms after the popularity of TikTok... but are they gearing it up, over junking your social media feed to then introduce a subscription fee to remove it? Youtube already has that... at this stage I would actually pay to have instragram ala 2017, when it was simply a feed of illustration & design from artists that I followed, and not endless junk.
- I've been thinking recently that social media looks like 'You've been Framed'.. but that was based on my memory of that show from the 1990sshapesalad
- Just watching that episode now..fuck.. social media is exactly like you've been framed! Cute dog, funny kid, car accident, some mishap etc..shapesalad
- TikTok = You've been framed. Utter junk.shapesalad
- At least in the 1990s it was a 30min episode once a week, not a endless 24/7 experience.shapesalad
- Channel 4's The Word also springs to mind and especially this legendary segment ... https://www.youtube.…Bluejam
- lol, hopefuls exactly!shapesalad
- watching this reminding me half the entertainment of beadle YBF as a 10 year old was tiny hand bingo between clips. lisa riley didn't stand a chancekingsteven

I hope so
- Doesn't matter now that Facebook, Instagram and Youtube are full of junk 1080x1920 short video crap of dancing, cats, bros, showoffs and useless novelty.shapesalad
- Unless substantial evidences were found that they are violating laws I don't think they should be banned. And I don't even like tiktokpango
- TikTok has been accused of illegal data gathering.CyBrainX

I am on day seven of a 30 day Twitter cleanse. I feel like a loser, a low information voter, an NPC, a normie. Just a regular chump living his life without the knowledge of which neighborhood in Culiacán is closed off and besieged by the Sinaloa Cartel or who holds a tactical advantage this week in the latest India-China border clash. I need one more hilarious hot take, just one more Waffle House brawl video. Is this real life? *sigh*
- Haha this is brilliant. Submit this to a short story contest somewhere lol_niko

- Very true, vast majority of social media users are narcissistic attention whoresdee-dubs
- It's people on twitter just clicking on whatever celebrity is trending and posting their opinion about them

- There is no earned status, and he's effectively killed the platform. I'm also thinking he's so blinded by his own ego that he doesn't realize what he's done.garbage

Interesting thread on when and why people quit their tech / media / service subscriptions, and why the providers fail to see the coming danger.

Reading all the tweets from people announcing their upcoming departure from twitter (because of Elon) is really hilarious.
Reminds me of anyone whoever announced that they were quitting QBN. Ha! And just like QBN, most of the people who actually go thru with it will be back on twitter a few days later. Just watch

- the ones who said they were moving to Canada because of Donald trump ended up moving to Florida. Hypocriteshotroddy
- the ones who said they were moving to Canada because of Joe Biden ended up staying to Florida. MAGA4Lifeutopian
- Yep, tons of my neighbors said they were moving to Canada if trump was elected. Some of them are retired, wealthy and capable. No one moved.nb
- People will quit, though, but more importantly, advertisers won't put money where there is so much publicized hate. It's just bad marketing/business.formed
- I just pray it doesn't further fuck up politics. Now there will be lies spread 1000x faster with his pathetic "free speech absolutism".formed
- They are heroesGnash
- I don’t think many will leave twitter permanently. Twitter’s most common usertype is a person who likes to shout their opinion but take zero actionnb

- You would post something snarky, yet totally benign, as if we care about your small yet totally generalized and judgmental opinion. #fuckbagcanoe
- @canoe, didn't you recently move back to Canada from Portland, or am I confusing you for another QBNer?hotroddy
