This feels like exactly the problem the internet was supposed to solve. A centralized corporation is dictating content decisions for anyone who wants to stay alive and profitable online.
I have no idea what the solution is, but I don't like that Facebook gets an outsized say in what people can profitably write online.
- jfengel 6y agoThe Internet was never designed to guarantee anything about profitability. It was designed to make things accessible, and it does, including in this case. The problem isn't in access. The problem is their insistence on profit. The Internet was designed in a nonprofit environment, and certainly wasn't intended to ensure that one player could force somebody else to use their servers to guarantee their profit.
