It’s probably majority network effects. If you compare Instagram to 5, 10 years ago on the dot, you see an atrocious drop off on quality and usability. The change was so insidious, majority of people didn’t notice or care all that much. And yet, Instagram is still one of the largest platforms in the US, despite how objectively horrendous it is to users.

look, I trust F-droid and open source apps more than I trust the sponsored garbage on play store alongside shit like kalshi and candycrush. The security point is moot. The call is coming from inside the house.

As for ad money, being one of the most grossly profitable corporations in the world isn’t enough? Must line go up always? At what point is having an absurd amount of profit enough? Where is the line?

Up until now, I haven’t been overwhelmingly emotional about all the horrible things happening right now.

I don’t know why this news hit me particularly hard. Reading it made me feel like a part of me died. Got glassy eyed. This kind of feels like the final betrayal in a sense. Not the ultimate betrayal, but one super close to my heart.

That god loves me despite me being a degenerate homosexual with instincts that are derived from the chief source of evil; Satan.

Hard not to think you were born evil when everyone keeps telling you it is wrong to like other men.
