Facebook never should have started down this road. There's no winning endgame for them here.

- mcguire 5y agoWhat would a winning endgame look like?
- 10000truths 5y agoDepends on how you define 'winning', really. If 'growth at all costs' is your metric, then sure, Facebook is winning. If 'adherence to original vision' is your metric, then you could argue that Facebook went astray a long time ago.
- ManBlanket 5y agoSomething like 1984, probably.
- Applejinx 5y agoFacebook getting to disavow everything they've been paid to do, and accepting payment from a new set of bosses who turned out to have more authority over them than their previous paying customers had. Basically, entering the witness protection program and selling out those they've worked for in the past. Getting a huge cash-out, reputation laundering, and going away to preside over a dwindling number of hapless and heavily surveilled 'users', reporting on their doings to the authorities. That is very much the winning endgame for Facebook. They turned out not to be bigger than governments.
