I understand this, but the distinction is academic
The people using their product. The people who, if the product were shit from day 1 - as Reddit wasn't - would have never signed up for it. Who have been effectively and literally lied to
- inigyou 2mo agoIt's not day 1, so it's irrelevant what would've happened on day 1.
- alex1138 2mo agoWhat is your point. The product has been ruined and I'm saying that by 'customers' I just meant users
- Wolfbeta 2mo ago“Users” is a misnomer that sheepishly cloaks the relationship with a little feint of dignity. You are not the customer merely because you use the thing. Where the service is free, your attention, metadata, and by extension, susceptibility to influence are the value being sold; the advertisers are the customers. As the saying goes: “If it’s free, you’re the product.”
- inigyou 2mo agoMy point is exactly what I wrote.
