The problem is even deeper than lack of trust/privacy.
It's that Meta's business model optimises for the wrong thing.
M$ optimises for pleasing employers. Meta & Google optimise for pleasing advertisers. Amazon optimises for cheapness.
Only Apple actually optimises for pleasing consumers, with amazing products.
It would require a fundamental pivot in company strategy, their raison d'être.
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoThat’s a great way of putting it. It’s not necessarily that any given path is _bad_, but some of those paths aren’t consumer/privacy/business/whatever-friendly. I think Meta and Amazon stand alone here with a different problem than the rest, which is in terms of people that they both have sociopathic leadership. Technically, neither have an “in-hand/hands-on” platform either: no desktop OS or truly viable productivity platform. Amazon doesn’t even use the AWS WorkMail. Those two things combined make the erraticism seem perfectly “normal”. I think Google’s problems are survivable if they get rid of Pichai and learn to focus.
