Because instant messaging died out. Then it seemed like you were nothing if you weren't sharing the bitchiness of your life. Then tumblr died out. Now we're at the enshittification of it, with algorithms curating everything with an advertisement every three scrolls and an Ai post every two it's basically every one wheel scroll is your family and friends then three scrolls down you're seeing your memes.
It's shit.
None of those things would have made me interested in starting to use non anonymous services. We learned not to do that years prior to its arrival. Took one look and went hell no.
Maybe, but it was always bad. Always. It was a bad idea from the beginning. No person who thought about it for 5 minutes should have thought it was ever a good idea.
Thats why when Zucks quote called the users dumbfucks for just handing over their data to him, it was no surprise. Thats what the facebook user was from the beginning: a dumbfuck.
I 100% agree, we should've stopped at MySpace.
