Love this but i'll bet Facebook/insta/Amazon/apple/etc are as popular as ever in Canada.
Digital. Services. Tax.
Bring it back. Fuckem.
Fuck who?
Yes
The Rotten Pumpkin admin, of course.
The whole world needs this TBH.
You're suggesting USA taxes Canada for using digital services?
No, it would be a tax on revenues that amazon, facebook, adobe, xitter, etc extract from Canadians. Digital Services. Subscriptions, software, that kind of thing.
Oh okay, then yeah I'm here for it.
Trump would never bite his handlers like that.
Hence hes already railed against the notion when the EU considered it, with unusual fervor specifically for that.
That's what happens when companies illegally leverage their monopolies to extinguish any competition.
The reality is most people just dont care where a service originates from, as long as its good. You wouldn't think it based on the internet, but most people arent on the internet to make points about things.
But they aren't good.
They mean good as in "functions well" not good as in "is not evil."
As did the person you replied to.
Try using any of them on mobile without using their dedicated apps.
I'm having second hand embarassement each time I have to use google maps on the browser. They should be ashamed of how badly it works.
But both apply.
I literally just said "a service" and thus meaning any service. Therefore, your response suggests that all services arent good.
That's part (the lesser part, but still important) of why I hate when news orgs use an angry dude on twitter as their example of someone who is up in arms about something.
The Internet is not representative of the population. The people posting are self selected. It's the same reason if you go looking for coffee advice you'll find a thousand posts with advice about roasting your own beans while most people are drinking Starbucks, Dunkin, Folgers, and Maxwell House.
The great majority of people do not give a shit what the Internet is doing. A lot of people look but only a teeny tiny slice are posting about it.
Roasting your own coffee is hard though. I have done that and I still buy beans
I only use Facebook for my business. Mostly just social posts about things which act as promotion. That said, I'm not seeing the results I saw a few years ago. Far fewer interactions on posts, almost no comments. I'm not sure it's worth doing these days. We get more client contacts from our webpage than via facebook. We're doing a ton more business these days than a few years ago, so I know it's not coming from Facebook.
We have a business instagram account as well, but I use a third party to post to facebook/insta and it commonly has an issue posting to instagram. I have personal facebook and insta accounts but I never use them (expect to log into the business accounts). As a user, I can't stand either of those platforms.
I don't subscribe to any streaming service. Haven't for over 3-4 years.
I do use youtube. I also have a business and a personal youtube account that are monitized so I throw videos up a few times a month.
I only use Amazon for my business and even then orders are rare. I try to order from Canadian vendors when possible.
I bet you're crowded out by spam on Facebook/Insta. I hate to say it, but playing the spam game seems almost expected for businesses now.
...TBH, itd be fair to roll your own advertising influencer bots. Participate in the corruption of Facebook/Insta.
You use lemmy. No one you know uses lemmy. You are literally the minority of minorities
Most people likely think this is a Motörhead fan forum
That's true. I hate Marvel and Star Wars movies as well. I'm definitely an outlier.
Yes but do you hate Linux and Star Trek? That’s true minority on Lemmy.
I actually do hate linux as a desktop. It doesn't suit my computer needs outside of maybe just browsing the web. I use Windows in my music studio and for video editing and I'm very happy with the software I'm using. I'm also extremely comfortable with it.
When I was in IT I used Linux all the time for servers though and had no complaints there.
I only like original Star Trek. I hated TNG and all the off-shoot shows.
I know someone who used FB for business. They said engagement was amazing to start with but it was as if FB started hiding their posts to encourage them to pay to promote them.
We tried a paid promotion on facebook a few years back just to see how it did.
It got shit results.
I wonder how many people are going to boycott Steam?
Probably but those services are shit anyways and people should stop using them.
Europe is working on alternatives, it takes time but I think people will switch.
