Can we talk about the video?
First time I see it and it's just so awkwardly bad. It feels like something out of a low-effort parody. Never before have I felt that FB is crumbling but how the heck did this pass internally?
- system16 6y agoI guess it was a rush job, because it certain looks like it. Besides the cringe factor, I think the bigger problem with it is "who is this video for"? If I didn't already know about the Apple/Facebook controversy, I'd have no idea what message it was trying to get across, and even then it's extremely vague. If I didn't pay attention to the bizarre voice over, I'd assume it a video for a new photo app or filter or something. Apple isn't blocking Facebook from doing anything. It will just now be asking users to confirm they are ok with the tracking behaviour first. Facebook will have to do a lot better than this cringefest video to convince people why this is such a bad thing.

- ryandrake 6y agoI noticed the same thing. They're so petty they'll cancel the video mid-stream when you choose not to let them cookie themselves all over your browser. Think about it: Some engineer (maybe even someone who reads HN) programmed that business logic. Thank you, developer #48814 for being part of the problem rather than part of the solution.
