alt Hacker NewsSets up the most vile company preying on lonely people, runs it into the ground - then gets hired to do the exact same thing for a bigger company. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it

I understand the argument for protecting the children from the harms, but why should we have such arguments around “lonely people”? It’s just adults consuming media tailored to their needs. I can’t see it being worse than “IG/TikTok ruining an adult’s perception of reality”, or “Tinder focusing on return-users metrics”.
But again, I support the ban for children.

I can't even imagine what George would say today. I know things weren't great in the 80s, but this seems to be a whole new level of stupid.
He didn't really run it into the ground, this whole bankruptcy thing is just smoke and mirrors to cover the fact that Google basically acquired them ages ago
