I’ve had it with Meta.
Granted, I haven’t had a Facebook account since…2012? 2013? but I’ve enjoyed Instagram over the years. That is, until I learned that 1400 (or some other, god-awful number) employees were laid off in favor of AI, and Wall Street rewarded the bastards by their stock price going up.
I’m sorry, I can’t be a party to that, and my continued presence (as tiny as it was) on the platform was an implicit approval of this type of behavior. Additionally, I didn’t need hourly reminders of all the horrific bullshit going on in the world—even if it’s reported from left-leaning sources. So I downloaded my photos and closed the account.
I’m still on Reddit (for a really great MiniDisc sub), Tumblr (or the menz, obviously) and YouTube (for a variety of reasons), but the CEOs of these companies don’t seem to be as outwardly evil as Zuckerberg.
