I love Facebook, but hate that they’re throwing their hands up when they have all the power. Given this explicit stance, I don’t want to earn dollars for the platform with my attention.
I get the sentiment though and appreciate the humor. I felt that way when former employees spoke out before. That was before I saw the side of the company they must have seen. And now what we’re seeing externally, it’s sad. I’m so grateful for all Facebook has given me, and I LOVE the products, I just can’t use them anymore. It’s nuanced but it’s valid. 😜
You have every right to be upset / disappointed / pissed off and I don't blame you for following your heart. I often wish we weren't so reliant on these platforms.
Remember when you first started working there? It was such a baby platform, I had such high hopes for it. There was a lot of room to grow, but it became an ad platform, remember that phrase that was thrown around? Taking corporate cash was all that mattered, not the user experience. Anyway, here we are on Substack! I hope it stays true.
