The whole (original) premise of social media was "let's make a more human side of our business so that people can connect with us". Now we've come full circle where the robots are making all the social content and increasingly the robots are the ones consuming it too. Weird, uncanny valley times. And, FWIW, not times I want anything to do with, hence why I've been off all social media for years now...

Hacker News is social media too.

Disagree.

I don't know, I feel like it will help smaller businesses without a budget for a designer or even design taste compete with larger companies. Maybe that's good and maybe not. But big brands always had this splashy advertising, so this evens the field

Advertising is a negative sum game[0]. Helping smaller businesses without budget compete with larger companies on advertising is just contributing to making life worse for everyone. There's no evening the field, only deepening the muck. There's no persistent advantage possible here, because whatever new cool thing a small business can do, a large business can do more of it and better -- [0] - It's a zero-sum game in…

Not just labor and resources, but attention and time as well. It's literally burning up the brains of our youth. Of course, so is the "content" between the ads but you can make an argument that without the ad incentive these things wouldn't have gotten so bad in the first place

"I read the words you said in the worst possible way" is not the logical statement you want it to be "also you are weird, like so weird, like look at how weird you are" is kinda just rude, seems really weird to reprimand someone for a fantasy you summoned
