Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Bit idea: company that promises social media firms more convincingly human bot users for the express purposes of making advertisment and data selling seem more valuable...
...shit that's what this whole thing has been for like the last decade or so huh? I'm sure that's not a bubble waiting to burst. There certainly won't be some kind of controversy about social media data being totally fucking useless in the next few years because it turns out like 80% of the user base wasn't real for who knows how long.
Watch it pop off because of the coming AI bust that will suspiciously lower social media engagement by double decimal percents overnight, thus triggering an fcc investigation because it would be an issue that effects primarily investors.
I was a young man when Steve Jobs came out looking sickly and apple stock immediately took a hit and it was then I realized this is all a stupid hype game for lanyarded dipshits
