I had read this in another thread, but radio was one of the first (if not first) media form to be entshittified. Decades before we even had a term for it.

I’m about to hear a lot more of José “hongos mágicos” Rogan outside of the internet now.
I just hope it gives them ideas. fingers crossed
I feel like we should put a rest to the term “breaking the internet.”
Am I the only one here completely out of the loop?
I think unlimited texting was a thing in the US since like early to mid 2000s. It was never the case down here (probably still isn’t, since nobody uses it).
In fact, by the time cell phones became ubiquitous down here, it was around the time smart phones were launching. So with regular SMS being expensive, everyone just started using WhatsApp. I think back in the day the app was $1.
It’s kind of fucked-up that Zuckerberg has so much power over people’s businesses, study groups, family communications, neighborhood watches, et al. He could put ads on WhatsApp tomorrow, and people will probably take it, because humans are stubborn and like familiarity in general. I could stop using it today, but I would not be able to participate in a lot of things in society.
You can see it now in Reddit and Twitter. They’ve been completely entshittified and people are still there. In fact, we got people on Lemmy wanting to brigade and participate in r/place and give engagement to that shit-sipper Spez, so he can use the metrics on his damn IPO.
Yeah, my bad. Mlem is bugging out and it seemed like it didn’t post it at all.

As someone from Latin America. FUCK!
It’s literally what everyone uses for business, family/friends groups. Don’t know if any country around here is an exception, but we started using it because greedy telecoms were charging so much money for SMS at the time. So, it was a great way to circumvent that.
Then Facebook bought it when it was already established, so it’s improbable that people will move away from it.

… With another realistic-looking mount.
They can stay in their habitats; no need to bring in wildlife.
If they’ve grown up in captivity, we can just do an intermission where someone throws a cardboard box in their enclosures and livestream it. It’ll be a hit!
Fuckerberg should just send that Muskrat a poop emoji.
We should just start inciting for them to have a no-holds-bar, hell-in-a-cell, ladder, hardcore cage fight to the death. Then, when its over, we just don’t open the cage.

I just hope my wad of hundreds is enough to include popcorn and drinks.
More like forced into it by these multiple “once-in-a-lifetime” economic crisis.
BofA deez nutz!
