I really don't want to share all my personal life information with meta like this.
- NightCrwler 19d agotoo late for that, based on all the tracking there is.
- matthewfcarlson 19d agoAgreed. Love the idea and the polish. Hate the owners
- ieie3366 19d agoYou are not the target audience.
- asveikau 19d agoI don't think normies have a positive association with meta.
- colordrops 19d agoSomeone is using their products.
- ieie3366 19d agoHahaha most Meta product users don't even know what Meta is
- asveikau 19d agoYes, the fact that they renamed from Facebook helps them buy some time before people figure it out. But they don't feel good about the company.
- bigyabai 19d agoHow much time? 5 years? 10 years? 100 years? The average user doesn't make principled decisions around what hardware they use, the software they buy or the services they use. We have billions of Chinese phones and Windows laptops as proof of that. You can give them decades to make a healthier choice, and they'll still go back to use Meta properties if it gives them what they want. HN users are a tiny minority of social media users, and I think it's easy to buy the fallacy that our privacy-obsessed outlook is the norm. But much like YouTube or X, there will be people defending these dumpster fires until their final breath because it's what they want. We can't stop them any more than I can make you quit using HN.
- asveikau 17d ago> We have billions of Chinese phones and Windows laptops as proof of that Nothing wrong with either of these. Your snobbery is showing. By the way, normies have a negative impression of Microsoft, and also use their stuff. > HN users are a tiny minority of social media users I am not at all talking about HN users. I am not in an HN bubble. Maybe you are, and you are projecting this onto me.
- bigyabai 17d ago> By the way, normies have a negative impression of Microsoft, and also use their stuff. They've had a negative impression of Microsoft for three decades. Windows is still the dominant desktop OS. Hence my original question; how much time does a name change buy you? Windows didn't need one, even though it's bloated spyware.
- spiderice 19d agoThey have over 3 billion monthly active users... Almost half the earth. I think you need to recalibrate what a "normie" is.
- dspillett 19d agoA great many use their products grudgingly in my experience - posting minimally, staying because network effects make it difficult to completely move, and not wanting to give FB and friends more than they already do.
- asveikau 19d agoI think you need to recalibrate in your own mind what using a product means. It doesn't mean you like it, or the company behind it. It may also be due to monopoly status. Do you like your utility company? Your phone company? Your ISP? Your insurance?
- motoxpro 19d agoHuh? I would echo the sentiment of you recalibrating what a normie is. This is a crazy take. I would guess that fair amount of people have no idea that Facebook rebranded to Meta, let alone what goes on in and around the company. Meta products are entertainment, not water and power, comparing them to that is so overblown. Plenty of people don't use IG or Facebook at all, and plenty of people just go on every now and then and enjoy the experience and leave.
- asveikau 19d agoHere's what I found when I googled "polling on Mark Zuckerberg": > Roughly 54% to 70% of Americans express an unfavorable view of him > Zuckerberg is viewed negatively by both major parties. Democrats and Republicans alike report high rates of disapproval regarding his influence and leadership. > Dislike for the Meta CEO spans all age groups, though younger adults display particularly high skepticism. YOU GUYS are so far out of touch to say normies don't hate and distrust the people behind Meta. They will use the products but this is not a positive reflection on the brand at all.
- brcmthrowaway 19d agoThe target audience is influencers paid by Meta.. Brilliant!
- msdz 19d agoIn fact, I’d go as far as to say there’s few companies I’d entrust less the level of data required for a tool like a “personal AI agent”…
- dgellow 19d agoOpenAI is next on my list
- andrewingram 19d agoOnly one i'd trust less is SpaceX, and they're other major player in this space...
- hakanderyal 19d agoBut they say "It comes with strong privacy and security built in" right on the page!
- InsideOutSanta 19d agoOnly Meta and its 27,000 most trusted, carefully selected corporate friends can access your data.
- InsideOutSanta 19d agoI'd rather have Butterbean punch me in the balls than install a "personal assistant" app from Meta on my computer.
- ZacnyLos 19d agoBut people love to! Really sad
