I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.
The vast majority has learned helplessness and submissiveness. It’s not that they don’t care, they’ve just been beaten down over time.
I’ve seen it. It’s almost like a form of ADHD training. Make sure the person’s attention is never on something for too long, and make sure the attention snaps to whatever ad pops up.
“ADHD training”, that’s the perfect way to put it.
What a coincidence! I’ve been testing something myself! I call it, “Not using Instagram for anything ever in any way whatsoever.”
Zuck hates this one simple trick!
what, you don’t want fake friends fake liking your fake glamorous vacation photos?
The memes are brilliant though
“Testing” in case they decide they don’t like money after all.
Honestly I used Vanced patches to get rid of ads in Insta and thought I’d finally actually browse the app for once, but then I just never did.
Ha ha! I don’t use Instagram nor have I any interest in it whatsoever.
The tiktok ban is paying off much more than just repressing the truth in palestine. That monopoly privilege. $$$
