Some people really are braindead marketing zombies

What an awkward speech.

Sure people spending all day on TikTok and playing with cryptocurrencies are actually solving problems created by people who worked in the mines and watched TV.

The truth is, across all generations, everyone is doing anything to live the most confortable life possible according to their convictions, and YouTubers today are not better promoting their shitty gamer drinks or VPN services than a 1980s vendor trying to sell as much diesel engines as possible. It’s even more true when it comes to corporate, or you’ll have to tell me what’s is Zuckerberg doing for the planet that Bill Gates is not.

At any given time there were people willing to change the world, trying to make it more fair. We’re just never enough. And being a millennial I can assure you it’s not changing anytime soon, even tho things are getting shittier and shittier.

Sure, totally agree. But in this case you’re placing « would » before « if », which is not the case in OP’s title.

Don’t wanna be a grammar nazi, but seeing {if} and {would} in the same sentence is just painful, even tho I’m not a native English speaker. And I’m sure this rule applies to a vast majority of languages around the world.

To answer your question, Reddit is already going public and is getting an IPO later this year, so I don’t think it would be drastically different from now, except we’d see the Meta logo everywhere.

Even scarier, what are the odds of him winning.

Something important to realize is, upvotes attributed to a profile was once designed to place profiles on a trust scale. A person with more upvotes in general would simply, and naturally, be more listened and trust than a person with low or even negative upvotes.

The problem is our brain can easily fall in the trap which has been used by marketing for decades now : the reward circuit.

Thus people prone to make a lot of money abused that, and even raised the problem to an other level with bots and competition. They did so because it creates addiction. And what addiction does create ? Spending money. So you really don’t want profile accumulated upvotes on Lemmy.

Testing.

If you can read this, it seems you actually can.
