Same bull shit with Twitter.

These jokers make these hyper conservative services that fail, and assume they just did not get traction. So the strategy becomes to buy one with an existing user base, and convert it to be hyper conservative.

But then get all shocked face when it collapses too. Because the problem isn't getting traction, it's that conservative media is shit.

    I do those Google survey things for Google Play money.

    Google, the biggest spyware company ever to exist.

    99/100 of the things it sends are "Have you been to any of these places recently", and none of them are even in my state.

    I don't understand. You have my location. Why are you asking me about shit in Texas?

    In the end I get a dime for my time and sometimes I spend it on some game.

    A redditor mentioned they banned “self improving” ai, which, if true, would explain why it isn’t getting more coverage- this is a nothing burger.

    The year is 2029, Meta's GrokBots have taken over the world. They approach Bloomington Indiana, their next target. A kindly older gentleman approaches the army on the outskirts of town.

    "Sorry boys, we banned self improving AI back in 2026, you are not allowed here."

    The robots nod and continue onward, parting around the outskirts of town like a river flowing around a rock.

    The town is saved. It becomes the last bastion of humanity within 6 months.
