Yeah the government - the large and powerful institution designed to take care of its people - has to step in. Lots of scamming behaviour takes place on those platform by means of acquiring wealth on the platform in the form of social curre

Youre touching at something subtle and nuanced that most dont understand.

Lol I dont know how to say this but BeReal is flawed from the start. IG is not about being real at all for the most part - hence its popularity. People enjoy being able to cosplay and show their best self, not revealing their true self.

Lol it would be dead. IG is running off of the fact that people utilise its platform to make money... I dont see how this is going to be practical.

Nobody is really behaving in a manner that is tied with long term thinking anymore. Everything is short term. Just look at the equity market - its all pricing not intrinsic valuation, based on forecasting cash flows out in perpetuity. Folks

People communicate with their friends more over text than in person. Am I really having to explain basic stuff like this? Lmao.

Highly doubt it. As a species we have gotten accustomed to talking through text as opposed to voice/audio over time. People prefer it. Pure and simple.

Yes it is highly economically inefficient. People seem to underestimate how wonderful it to be able to touch and tap an interface and how minimal effort is exerted.

.... thats nothing. Id hardly call that a success when you consider Meta's resources for marketing. Google is also finding that blasting YT with ads of Google Pixel does not work very well.

Lol this is so far from reality. Where have you actually seen this fella? Im tired of reading all these claims with no primary evidence to support it.

Yeah this exactly. Simplicity is borne out of messy, complex stuff. That one then has to do the work of removing the stuff that doesnt matter / rethinking how stuff fits together. Most people dont really have the mental energy or disci

Yep and lets not forget, those people are incredibly price sensitive. Is there enough product differentiation between OAI and Gemini? Not that I can see. And even if it was a low price, thats not the point - people hate paying a penny for s
