yeah, the only problem is that this results in the best talent leaving, you’re stuck with people who have nowhere else to go. it’s one of those short-term profits kinda things, which is why Wall St loves it so much.

This just means they’re a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance
Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn’t work as a loss leader because it’s so different from all other products.
at this rate, in 20 years some asshole capitalist will figure out how to monetize air as a subscription service and we’ll all be living in a true dystopia
More government intervention in markets, because that’s what Republicans stand f- oh wait, er…
Anyone who cared would already be off Twitter.
shadowbanning is a totally different issue that’s existed for a long time though.
Rather than fighting against ad-tech , they’re caving. If someone comes into your house to punch you and rob you everyday, do you say “let’s find a solution that we’re both happy with, how about you rob me and don’t punch me?”
We could have argued about how privacy-protecting this is, and whether it will actually prevent further intrusive tracking. Perhaps I might be persuaded to keep it. But the fact that I wasn’t informed about being opted in when upgrading, and the fact that the CTO is doubling down on “users are too stupid to understand this”, means they’ve lost any trust and/or willingness for me to listen to them. Turning this off for good.
that’s fine for a small discord group but it doesn’t scale. you can’t be that active in moderating millions of conversations.
downvotes (and hiding downvoted comments) is a community-driven way of signaling unacceptable behavior. it largely works, except in echo chambers.
I mean IBM is still traded but it’s a shadow if it’s former self
Don’t don’t be evil
Remember when presidential scandals were about the guy wearing a tan suit instead of a dark colored one? Pepperidge farm remembers.
I don’t really remember what the names of Google apps are anymore. I just know there’s an app I can use to tap to pay, and I have a custom icon for that app (since all of Googles app icons are so similar it’s confusing).
Once they deprecate one app and move to the next, I’ll just change the icon on that.
“It’s your responsibility to make sure our products aren’t nonsense. All we want to do is to make money off you regardless.”
Should companies work on improving access to services and making sure paying consumers get a better experience?
Nah, let’s spend more money paying lawyers to go after a few people, that’ll show em.
i mean, my phrasing sounded contradictory but the thought process is logical lol
Apparently smaller tech firms are loving office mandates, because it allows them to hire talent that they normally would not have access to at their budget.
didn’t phrase that well, what I meant was when I have a conversation on lemmy I don’t want to respond to a beehaw post that less than half the lemmy population can see.

I’m sure there will be ways around it. Mods can automod-delete every comment, change the rules of the sub to only allow posts of nonsense, or nit moderate at all.
The main problem is that protests don’t succeed at reddit because people like moderating for free for some reason. Strangely Reddit has more leverage over mods than mods have over reddit.
