It’s always been an awful company that monetizes its users. Since day one.

Literally started as a way for a creepy fucking loser to stalk and harass women at his local college.

They pivoted to a hyper-liberal tech utopia for a hot minute to attract all the smart people who would help them scale, and now that they are a monopoly it's back to being a creepy rapey piece of shit.

How can anyone be surprised? How is anyone shocked this is anything but the obvious end point for it based on who began it and why,?

Classic mean reversion. Can't escape it.

Sometimes users want to be monetized 🤷‍♂️

I am no fan of Meta, but what company doesn’t monetize its users?

Everyone monetizes its users. They are a business. You are being monetized as you type this. That comment is meaningless.
