    Right wing rage bait drives engagement which in turn drives up the cost of advertising and gives them more revenue. This is really why everyone needs to abandon corporate social media in droves.

        It’s really not.

        You’re still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.

      You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.

        It’s not a superiority thing.

        As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.

      You don’t even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it’s on the screen, it’s a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.

      This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.

        I think I know why people who only comment the most repugnant shit always complain about being “censored:” they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are, so it enrages them when nobody wants to listen to their barely-coherent screeds.

        After all, what’s the fun in posting to 4Chan when they’re just another outrage baiter? Nobody there cares if they’re incivil, hateful, or childish so they can’t get the rise out of people that they crave. There are callous laughs to be had there, but it doesn’t feed the need.

        No, they have to go to places where they can spread their miserable loathing around and get any kind of attention for it. Anything for that hit of dopamine they get from angering the targets of their ire.

    Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.

    The content algorithms are terrible. I’ve been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when “all comments” is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.

    It’s like the purest form of manufacturing consent.
