It's like some giant parody art project of dysfunctionality, you just have to step back and admire how phenomenally effectively they're demolishing everything. It's Yahooesque
At least Google has enough sense to can things that aren't working. It'd be like if they were still pushing plus and glass
Does FB even need to change? What's wrong with a product becoming stable and maintained and just growing in users but not features, etc?
Why can't we just have products that are "done". When's the last time HN didn't get something in "maintenance mode"? With SaaS, it's not even like you need to produce new versions to get more money.
When (90%/99%) of facebook valuation is based on growth potential? About (90%/99%). Money basically.
Also, you've mostly been posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments and that's not allowed either.

You think that just shutting down the communication medium really makes all of that go away"?
I don't think shutting them down will stop it but I think a lot of todays hyper-partisan inflammation of the citizenry is owed to these platforms and their encouragement of any and all "engagement" on their platforms in service of ad dollars. These companies know how harmful these products are but since they're profitable they ignore the findings. I would argue that Meta/Facebook is the Philip Morris of our generation.
