What you really mean is that it was US centric and wasn't spammed to death by bot networks and state-backed actors that want to sow division.
The fact that you had to get the disk and pay with a credit card created one of the best online user experiences we had.
- jack_pp 5y agoThat wouldn't stop state backed actors today but I agree with the first paragraph
- rightbyte 5y agoThe Internet Boogeyman from Russia and China is a fairy tale to scare kids you know. Wildly exaggerated threat. Bot farms is an ads problem. The feed algorithm that maximize for 'engagement', in the same sense a traffic jam does, is the main culprit. Using Facebook, Instagram now gives you no power over what you see, just faint wishes that Zuckerberg somewhat fulfills every 4th post.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoYou're wrong. I've checked out many facebook propaganda sources and they are all laughingly obvious that they are state actors OR US internal sources that Facebook could quickly remove with minimal fuss. Yes the English was terrible and the propaganda horribly obvious (yet dumbasses on FB still buy into it or feed the troll). Anyway, FB doesn't want to remove them unless they pop up in mainstream media, otherwise they are very safe because they drive up viewership and commenting and the Zuck loves that.
- rightbyte 5y agoSure, I don't mean it doesn't exist, but that it is just not that impactfull compared to domestic lunatics. I agree FB is very bad at removing syntetic 'content farm' content.
