Without the hate speech and constant invasive political discourse, most people on the internet would lose interest and go away.
Sounds like my idea of curating a social platform devoid of "-ist's and -ism's" is doomed to failure then lol
We've gone from "sex sells" to "hate sells" and yes, that's the sad side effect. I haven't used Facebook in ages but I hear it's not useful for talking to your friends anymore. If such a platform existed I'd go there but I think it would just be you and me.
I check out my Facebook every once in a while and it’s absolutely enraging now. I showed my wife that I had to scroll past 20 ads and suggested pages before I got to something a friend shared, and I have like 1000 friends.
What I've also heard is that the things your friends say / share aren't presented in chronological order they way they used to be, that they're presented in the time and place you're more likely to interact with them.
Yeah I don’t know how they choose how to present them but it’s fucking annoying.
Normally about 4 to 6 days late so you're "forced" to urgently like or comment after " missing out" on something in their life.
It hasn't been chronological since like... 2012
FB is most AI generated bots, plus zuckerberg intentionally made it that way,. its also a safe haven russian backed propaganda to go unchecked., and plus they want to datamine you heavily like require your ID. reddit is heading to the same path as FB.
How dare you!!! It should be ILLEGAL to not include -ism! You filthy piece of dirty filth! That's ism ism!

Eh, gotta break at least one egg to make an omelette (or break the seal on the packaging if you're using egg substitutes) lol.
Counterpoint: memes, cats, and memes about cats!
This is not unscientific. This is exactly what science shows. Re-read the title.
