If Meta manages to die in the coming AI apocalypse it will make me extremely happy. They are an absolute cancer on society.

But I just use Instagram to look at photography content. Am I helping to destroy society?

Every click you send to Meta is used to build your personal profile to generate ad revenue. So yes, you’re helping them in a very small way…

I think everyone has a right to opt out of politics. Nobody should have to pay attention or have opinions or be an activist. But that doesn’t mean their actions aren’t affecting the politics, nor does it make them immune from being judged.

How on earth are you still getting Instagram to serve you photos and not month old tiktok videos? I haven't seen a photo in Instagram in years.

Unironically yes? A very small amount, sure. But every eyeball counts.
