First thing it made me think of is when the YouTube offices were shot up by a gunwoman who was apparently upset about their changes in monetization policies.
Of all the companies to 'hate', I'd expect FB to be a much larger target than YT.
- clubm8 8y agoDid that woman make a specific threat though? Lots of people say Fuck Zuck on the internet, but it sounded like they restricted it to people who got specific or had other reasons (fired employee, contractor who's mad their contract wasn't renewed). The idea of a blacklist makes me uneasy, but for example I will state on the record I think Mark Zuckerberg is a big doo doo head, but I don't think if someone tied this nym to my real name I'd be banned from FB's campus.
- general8bitso 8y agoDoes FB have an AdSense-like offering?
- throwaway-1283 8y agoOutside of IG influencers (?), FB doesn't really offer a platform for individuals to make money like they can on YouTube
- ben_jones 8y agoThere's a lot of MLM/self-help type scams that use Facebook to grow their base that I could see as similarly upset if they were banned or otherwise demonetized.
- hopler 8y agoI suspect that the psychology of an activist making money via legit video monetization is different from a black-hat SEO scammer. Really though, you can't point to logical reasons for a mass attack against strangers. Someone mentally unstable enough to do that could be triggered by anything.
