I agree that it's a broad category, and that Hacker News is social media.
But of all the problematic advertising you could choose, you choose instead political advertising and semaglutide ads?
- mrweasel 1y agoThat's probably the solution: You can run a social media, but you have to do it ad free. Charge people if you need to, but you cannot run ads. What fucks up social media is the constant need to "engagement".
- doctorpangloss 1y agothis is a familiar discourse. Ads are more than a thing you "run," they're an idea. You can't destroy the idea of ads. "Ad free" isn't possible to guarantee. Does this make sense?
- mrweasel 1y agoFirst part makes sense, ad free seems very possible to me, especially if backed by legislation.
