Half of people are below average, these classes raise the floor they don’t expand the ceiling

No, ads make them money. Users see the ads because they view their feeds.

It’s been proven in other markets that removing News from the feed doesn’t decrease engagement. Meta will continue to make money, and Italian news sites will see their traffic vanish.

Turns out they’re simply not valuable in the way they used to be, and country after country is learning this

Fair but FWIW I love a GUI and I’m not gonna complain if everyone and their mother want to offer options

Let a thousand vibecoded flowers bloom

There is no bubble

Fine essay overall but “We possess the means to care for everyone -- yet choose not to”

I really don’t think this is true

The us has an enormous per capita gdp for that large a country
