Hmm, no they're also hypocrites, it's not mutually exclusive

Buying a vowel in this situation is throwing away money tho. How many people have ever done this in wof history? Any?

Yeah good luck with that when you can't make a product to save your life

Yeah, but if they were that effective, they wouldn't let this happen either

This whole fiasco might result in a much stronger and more socialist left flank all in all, so I look forward to more wins like mamdani, I guess time will tell

My cynicism never wavered on the stupidity capable of the human race

I think the more important criticism is really that they don't care if they're fascist anyway

I think my pessimism is just based purely on how other tech companies operate, and the nature of large publically traded companies, they have every obligation to make more cash for shareholders. There's only so many ways to do that, cut costs, sell more, or raise prices. Easiest is to cut costs, so fewer admins on worse hardware. There's always only so many customers who will ever buy, and demand elasticity determines how much they can charge at any given moment.

Advertisers are one customer they can work with really easily, I don't doubt that posts could be seeded internally for those purposes. Again though, all this is hearsay based on poll numbers, just the nature of the beast informs my thoughts on it

Perhaps not, but I don't doubt that it's had an effect for the worse either way

Definitely not because going public shifted their obligations to trying to make as much money as possible

I like a lot of interpretations here, and while not strictly non religious, Gnosticism is more reverence of the knowledge rather than the institutions, worth looking into if you're theocurious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism
