Concerned about them pfft they need to be locked up. Zuckerberg level mindless ambition wastes everyones time and energy. He has no clue what outcomes his network is going to produce tomorrow morning but stands around acting as if what comes out of his head matters. Its like watching the guy in Jurassic Park still believing things can be fixed after the kids are missing, the power is gone and the raptors have escaped. Its really mind boggling the patience people have show this buffoon running essentially an unapproved social psyc experiment on 2 billion lab rats, imposing a half baked reward system, that amplifies randomness.

It seems like it amplifies superficiality, insecurity, consumerism, and dogmatism - things that feel much worse that randomness.

> half baked reward system, that amplifies randomness. The very point is that it doesn't amplify randomness but content that provokes emotions.

> 2 billion lab rats Agreed with what you said, but that's a very inflated figure FB wants us to believe. Most people I know have 2 or more accounts, also all those profiles of dead people, companies manage other fake accounts for promotion, and there are spam actors that run huge amounts of fake profiles. So there might be around 100 million rat labs or way less.

  No way, everyone in India has one except children. Population 1.3 billions, highest number of youths. 100 million is wrong.

> Its really mind boggling the patience people have show this buffoon running essentially an unapproved social psyc experiment on 2 billion lab rats, imposing a half baked reward system, that amplifies randomness. I happily use Facebook (as does almost everyone I know). I don't consider myself a lab rat, and think it's kind of an offensive way to view your fellow humans in general. You don't need to be so morally outraged on my behalf - Facebook provides a product that I love using, and I use it, with the understanding that they get advertising money out of it. I'm fine with that transaction, as are most people. You don't have some secret knowledge that I don't have (I imagine) - I know the same things as you, and yet I decide that for myself, using FB is worth the tradeoff of the privacy/advertisements vs. the product itself. The same as when I decide to eat ice cream, even though it's bad for me. Do you want to put ice cream makers in prison too on my behalf?

    It's worth considering that if someone disagrees with you, they might be right. Or at least be worth listening to without insulting them or insinuating anything.
