Tommy Marcus, the content creator from Brooklyn profits from his instagram fame. Of course he wants the company do to well even if it's at the cost of the users. He does have a say in the way that facebook acts because he has leverage through his popularity. Not to mention that he is going on the news giving apologia to the corporation. And you're saying we should we should just twiddle our thumbs and not contest his ridiculous ideas because he's not a shareholder or something?

Sure, because they could get the information they want without having to wade through the mountains of crap you’re pumping out of the septic tank into your users faces. You’re optimising the wrong metric you fucking clown. Tommy doesn't optimize Instagram metrics. Instagram does. Tommy doesn't have users. Instagram does. Tommy doesn't pump "mountains of crap out of the septic tank into" users faces. Instagram does. Tommy pumps out whatever content he wants to the people who follow him. It's clear from the quote that OP thinks Tommy works at Instagram and is criticizing what he think is an Instagram employee. It's not even apologia for Instagram, it's just Tommy's statement of belief that Instagram won't be negatively impacting users' time spent with these changes. There's no value statement at all from Tommy. It's not even a "ridiculous idea". It's just that Tommy thinks these changes will increase users' time spent on Instagram. You're just imputing mountains of additional context into what he says.
