Zuck could prolly double-down on a platform optimized for fascism and shed big brands in favor of small-biz grifters and snake oil advertisers to meet analyst expectations for revenue and growth as long as Trumpist boomers keep exhibiting their propensities. #StopHateForProfit
Yes, Facebook is global and exports its optimized facism abroad but its revenue center is dumb Americans who get targeted for stupid shit and click on it. This also includes young Americans on Instagram falling for ads too (listening on the microphone they insist, not the algo!)
The ads aren’t the core source of disinformation. The posts (especially in private groups) spread the entropic poison unravelling our civilization. But the ads pay the bills. They grease the poison machine. #StopHateForProfit
Making Facebook and Instagram safe for big brands won’t be as easy as policy tweaks and enforcement headlines to juice the PR. There’s something rotten at the core but advertisers are responsible for it, but now they can’t turn a blind eye any longer. #StopHateForProfit
