Eyes and faces are tracked by AI. Inattention is not counted. Poor people only get discounts if they have watched the adverts attentively. Rich people can simply buy anything just like so.
cheaper, less power hungry AI option shaved $1.1 trillion off the stock market. lmao. lol.

Remember folks, you must give Meta/Facebook/Threads every benefit of the doubt.
Invite them to partner with you at the Social Web Foundation (socialwebfoundation.org) as you courageously fight to #FreeOurFeeds¹
Federate with them on mastodon.social. Because why not build an adjoining door to a Nazi bar?
You must do all this and more to ensure you legitimise them at every turn. After all, you wouldn’t want to prove Mark Zuckerberg wrong about you or anything, would you?²

Your reminder that while #Bluesky is all fun and games now, but that it won't last. This is also a reminder that #socialmedia becomes enshittified because of #capitalism, but non-profit social media exists, it's the #Fediverse and you really should start having a presence there too.
