All this.. all this multi billion dollar development, all those 'brains', all the time and space a tech company occupies in it's lifetime... just to force you to watch ads?
What a shitty society and what a shitty communication system we have, just because some morons want to earn some billions more...
There is no endgame when it comes to greed, those pricks will always want more.
I feel it's worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.
I consider it close to going to school for engineering or design and winding up being the guy in charge of making airplane seats ever smaller and more uncomfortable.
Yeah, the brightest minds of recent generations are figuring out how to get people to watch ads. We probably could have had fusion energy by now, but instead have ads.
But think of the investors! How can we give them month-after-month gains without forcing ad's down our user's throats? /s
It's more about doing what investors think will give them gains, so that they keep investing, don't quit, and don't press out the people in charge of the company.
Dunno why I have this association, but when directors of Apple pressed out Jobs, Apple's stuff in the following decade was rather cool. I just played with MacOS 9 a bit, with its classical software like Hotline, and it really had a "culture" and an "ecosystem", and not what Apple's ads after 2000 tell you, but these seem to have been real.
Ain’t no short term profits in a fusion generator
A lot of these people are probably H-1B status workers.
Doesn't make them less clever.
Multiple billionaires have answerd the question, "when is it enough?" With the reply: "when I own everything."
We should treat these cocksuckers like addicts and start looking at reform and rehabilitation! Think of the children!
It has shittier sides than the one you are looking at.
and what a shitty communication system
Well, Zuck and others found the way to assemble all blonde girls from your town on one site. It was decided then.
At least until the general humanity realized that this doesn't change shit except that we no longer have the normal Web itself, the truly miraculous one which we got used so quickly to.
I like Gemini, but I'll take the ActivityPub-based Web. Better both, of course. With old Skype-like IM on top of that as well.
However, the identities being not cryptography-based and being tied to an instance I don't really like, that should be fixed in future versions if we want to have stuff working differently from e-mail, which is not as decentralized as one would like.
And frankly maybe one should separate content instances from authentication instances. The latter would only present identities.

Vanderbilt answered "how much is enough" with "more".
