I get why all the sites are getting shittier (interest rates etc etc) -- but why are they all getting shittier in the same shitty dumb way?

it's never just ads or subscriptions, it's a shitty integrated fucking garbage algoritm driven with content you don't want to see shown to you, the interface is ALWAYS shittier and worse, no explanation, just that it looks 'modern'

i'm so fucking sick of it lads

The algorithm bullshit is to show you more content (and therefore more ads). The ideal for social media companies is like tik tok where you just scroll endlessly.

On twitter or Reddit I look at the posts from the accounts and subs I follow and then am done.

Yup, tik tok went and showed what's the most profitable.

And as capitalism dictates, there is no room for any other business model, except the one that makes the most money.

So it must now be copied by all, until we're so sick of it there's not a single cent left to be made by using it.

ever since the normies and with them the big companies discovered the internet it has become shit. money destroyed everything
