there are some remarkable instances of bad behaviour in there already, but imagine being the sort of product team that thinks users being gaslit by a chatbot that they couldn’t even consent to choose to use is totes something to deliver without any modification or remark

Its times like these which make me happy I ditched Facebook years ago.

For me Facebook no longer works. I don't know if it is just facebook being weird, or a combination of adblockers which they are trying to fight against, but when I go to facebook I see 4-5 posts of people I follow, and then an endless list of memelike 'you might be interested in this' joke etc posts it is mega weird.

Edit: now I see only 1 post from my friends/family. I need to shift-f5 to see a different one. The rest is all 'follow this generic thing you don't care about (a % of which are also sexist/racist so well done there FB, even saw a Yukio Mishima meme)')

Same. Some days are worse than others: a couple groups I follow, maybe a person I follow, then 17 ads or random pages or groups. Then 2 or 3 I follow, etc.

Often the posts from people/groups I follow are days or a week old and I’ve seen them many times but never clicked on them.
