Comment on Social Meta acquired Moltbook, the AI agent social network that went viral because of fake posts

they can make themselves appear loaded with customers when Infact, nobody uses their service… they stole your info, create accounts in your name, and post as of you are still using it… they are just lying to investors even more now.
advertising money is a way to funnel stolen money from company to company and bribe people. that’s it… advertising does not work, nor does it generate a good income for the shitty product that we all know is trash

I love how we’ve turned into an advertising economy while simultaneously paying such low wages that only a small fraction of the country has disposable income. I’m in my mid-40s, so I’ve aged out of the enticing demographic, but ads are just pointless to me. I eat, I drink, I pay for car insurance and internet, and after that, well … I generally have $6.
Which I’m not spending on a fucking side of fries.
