        Liberals in the American sense (not far right) or in the pol-sci one (private property is the most fundamental of rights)?

    Right wing rage bait drives engagement which in turn drives up the cost of advertising and gives them more revenue. This is really why everyone needs to abandon corporate social media in droves.

    Deactivated FB six weeks ago.

    I’m not saying you should do the same, but I’m not not saying it.

        Thats about when I dropped FB for the second time for the last time… I was dating a girl that didn’t believe I didnt have a FB, my dumbass makes a new one and it was pure misery like the last go. I can’t imagine how bad it is now…

      Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.

        It’s really not.

        You’re still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.

          I told myself that… And then would reactivate and spend a day or two falling back in. Like a shitty relationship. Eventually, I had to cut the cord entirely.

            Sometimes that’s the best way to go. For me, deactivating’s been fine. I like Mastodon and Lemmy way more.

      It’s how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.

      You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.

        It’s not a superiority thing.

        As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.

      You don’t even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it’s on the screen, it’s a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.

      This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.

        I think I know why people who only comment the most repugnant shit always complain about being “censored:” they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are, so it enrages them when nobody wants to listen to their barely-coherent screeds.

        After all, what’s the fun in posting to 4Chan when they’re just another outrage baiter? Nobody there cares if they’re incivil, hateful, or childish so they can’t get the rise out of people that they crave. There are callous laughs to be had there, but it doesn’t feed the need.

        No, they have to go to places where they can spread their miserable loathing around and get any kind of attention for it. Anything for that hit of dopamine they get from angering the targets of their ire.

    Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.

    Ultimately just another form of “your body exists for my enjoyment”.

    The content algorithms are terrible. I’ve been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when “all comments” is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.

    It’s like the purest form of manufacturing consent.

    This is rage bait? For all i know the lady above is the one below on a work day & vise-versa on vacation.

    Like do these people want stock photos for a lover? That’s on them, but i’m confident who they chose in the end to love was NOT the top image lol

      A girl I dated sold a set of modeling photos to one of the clip art sites in the early 2000s. She was in a movie too, but all of that right after we broke up.

      The photos of her from the photoshoot would show up in weird ways. She was all over the internet! She was an advertisement on the front page of msnbc for a while. But the real kicker was seeing her photo on the wall of a futon store. Like frickin huge. The store was on a corner of a busy intersection. I could see the picture on the wall as I turned the corner. WTF One time I had to stop and go inside just to check if I was making it up. My wife agreed it was her!

      And for like 10 years I would see it used in random places.

      She was and probably is super cute so not surprised she had some luck selling her appearance but JFC I’m pretty sure some dudes fell in love with her. I did to but at least she was interested in me too

        I’ve dated both and guess what? A nice looking woman without tattoos can make you just as miserable as one covered in tattoos. It’s almost like you shouldn’t base your whole selection process on appearances.
