« Last post by tp4tissue on Thu, 02 May 2024, 18:19:43 »i think it's one of the most potent social media/entertainment apps out there at the moment.
These apps are levers for further capitalist rot. So we already agree, it's not there to entertain you, it's there to Sell-You-Stuff. The funny cat videos they insert in between advertisement is just to manipulate a person's emotional state, to compel spending.
So we see that it's selling the user's data/ attention, the ads themselves sell planet destroying junk that you'd get bored of after 30 minutes, and reach for the app to brainwash you into buying Yet-More-Stuff.
Social media applications under capitalism, greatly accelerates the death of our planet.
