Expecting the very obvious trash social media sites (all of them) are hawking to be good is the online equivalent of expecting the pills they sell in shady gas stations that also sell ninja throwing stars to turn you into a tiger in bed.
It will be very interesting to watch how this unfolds.

- rchaud 3y agoWhat even is "good"? Look at what Amazon sells. Page after page of generic products with nonsensical names. Investors and shareholders don't care, as long as people are handing over their payment information and buying something. That's all that seems to matter when it comes to tech valuation - the mere promise, however distant, that people will buy more crap on your digital land so you charge your little sales tax on every sale.
