They’ll say everything and exploit anyone for their numbers.
Philip Morris: 1 pack of cigarettes per day is not addiction.
Yeah but i spend 0 hours a day on social media. There is someone out there that reads 16 hours a day and bo one calls books addictive.
Post headline deserves a downvote. Quote from article:
Lanier asked Mosseri what he thought of K.G.M’s longest single day of use of Instagram being 16 hours.
“That sounds like problematic use,” the Instagram boss answered. He did not call it an addiction.
He also didn’t say it was a tomato. Like wtf do you want, I can’t tell if he was asked specifically if 16 hours a day was an addiction. The prior question was about whether he had known she had a 16hr day, and he had not. (He should have; poor trial prep.)
This is sensationalist BS and I dearly want this platform to be better than that.
Just so we’re clear, Meta can die in a fire and the world would be better off, I’m not defending them in the slightest.
The entire line of questioning was about addiction and the CEO was pretending it wasn’t (he didn’t want up admit the truth because his company would be liable). The headline was accurate and your take is officially a hot one.
The post accurately copies the article’s headline without editorialising.
The article itself is shit though.
This is sensationalist BS and I dearly want this platform to be better than that.
This platform loves sensationalism. Same with other platforms.
All CEOs of the big ones are sociopaths. It’s by design.
You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a CEO, but most CEOs are sociopaths… because sociopathic traits, mostly lack of empathy and zero issue with being horribly manipulative, are traits that tend to be selected for to move up to this level.
A lot of them sell shit or practice law instead.
What do you even do on Instagram for 16 hours?
My ex was super depressed. Long story short she was struggling with sexuality. I watched her spend literal hours on the couch scrolling insta. She got deep into Reels and would watch them all day. The algorithm is so addicting. It kept her eyes glued. She also ended up down the self diagnosed rabbit hole deciding she had all sorts of mental illness. It was awful.
idk but the fact that people do that is sad as fuck
What’s the deal with tech bosses obviously lying lately? Just a legal thing? Or a it’s true if we say it long enough thing?
I don’t even use “being awake” 16 hours a day 😂
“Its not an addiction, I’m not addicted snorts line off a toilet seat I’M PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL”
Goddammit, who the hell let RFK Jr. in here?
Why does he look like Steve Carrell playing a sociopathic big tech asshole?
Thought it was the Verizon guy.
He looks like David Wallace
Like in Mountainhead.
I child a day is not a pedophile.
A child a day keeps the Attorney General away!
Bro I spend 4 hours a day gaming and I feel guilty enough to fuck over my sleep schedule and get some chores done. 16 hours???
Punchable face.
This has to be rage bait. I feel like the less time I’m on there, the happier I am. Even the 30 minutes daily limit that I usually set for apps like that is time I’m never getting back.
The only reason I have an account to begin with is because I’m a photographer (even if just a hobbyist) and I like to have some presence in the circles I’m in. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be there at all.
Coming from a potential cocaine sniffing addict that’s not surprising
