    Right wing rage bait drives engagement which in turn drives up the cost of advertising and gives them more revenue. This is really why everyone needs to abandon corporate social media in droves.

    Stop clicking on right wing rage bait and it won’t be recommended to you lol

    • crab@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You don’t even need to click for them to recommend it. If you look at it longer than another thing, or take a screenshot when it’s on the screen, it’s a signal that you might spend more time on the app if they show those kind of things. And the chance of you spending more time on the app means more money for them through ads.

      This is not true. Anyone that clicks anything remotely socialist immediately gets fed with the completely opposite, gommunism no food and 100gorillionbillion deaths propaganda. It immediately tries to lead people to the opposite.

      i noticed this year ago that if stop using my fb account after some time my TL is filled with “suggestions” RW and lewd stuff.

      • HawlSera@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Which is weird, because when I try to share them my account just gets flagged and suddenly I can’t message the three relatives that still use it for three months

    That’s what you get for using Facebook. Just delete your account already.

    I’m not saying you should do the same, but I’m not not saying it.

        Thats about when I dropped FB for the second time for the last time… I was dating a girl that didn’t believe I didnt have a FB, my dumbass makes a new one and it was pure misery like the last go. I can’t imagine how bad it is now…

        source
    • TheOneAndOnly@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Deactivating is for wafflers. Delete that shit, burn the crops, and salt the earth in your wake.

      source
      • FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’s really not.

        You’re still starving the beast. Deactivating just leaves the people who know me an outlet to get in touch if needed.

      It’s how I stay updated on events mostly. Even if a decent alternative existed it would take a long time to get many of my friends and family to move, not to mention some of the groups.

        Understable. Requires more legwork without it, but I don’t mind that for the mental health tradeoff.

        Not necessarily. You can deactivate FB and still keep your contacts to use in Messenger.

      You are still looking at a Facebook post. You simply found a way to feel superior to the people who do it on Facebook.

      • FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        It’s not a superiority thing.

        As much as I dislike FB, it unfortunately still has a lot of use for most people. I get that.

    • shogun5000@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yet liberals enjoy the heck out of censoring everything that doesn’t fall in line with their conformist echo chamber. “But that’s different because it’s hate speech!” Lmao.

      source
      • Zombiepirate@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I think I know why people who only comment the most repugnant shit always complain about being “censored:” they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are, so it enrages them when nobody wants to listen to their barely-coherent screeds.

        After all, what’s the fun in posting to 4Chan when they’re just another outrage baiter? Nobody there cares if they’re incivil, hateful, or childish so they can’t get the rise out of people that they crave. There are callous laughs to be had there, but it doesn’t feed the need.

        No, they have to go to places where they can spread their miserable loathing around and get any kind of attention for it. Anything for that hit of dopamine they get from angering the targets of their ire.

        Imo continuing to use reddit is a lot better than using Facebook. As many issues as you may have with Reddit as a company, Meta is far worse.

    Who gives a fuck? The car isn’t decorated for you it’s decorated for its owner. Same goes with how a person chooses to dress or decorate their body.

    Ultimately just another form of “your body exists for my enjoyment”.

    The content algorithms are terrible. I’ve been trolling some local news pages that have been posting about Jason Aldean, and it never fails that the most relevant comments are all showing support even though each comment only has a few likes, but when “all comments” is chosen, there are massive amounts of opposing comments that have an enormous amount of likes.

    It’s like the purest form of manufacturing consent.

    I don’t get it. What’s wrong with the girl at the bottom? Do they not like tattoos? I’d imagine a lot of people on the right would have tattoos.

      Just a select few tattoos with certain…uh…symbols.

      source
    • SixTrickyBiscuits@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      They don’t like the short top, her hair, or the tattoos.

      American conservative christians are generally anti-tattoo, as they are pro conformity in general.

    • thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      A girl I dated sold a set of modeling photos to one of the clip art sites in the early 2000s. She was in a movie too, but all of that right after we broke up.

      The photos of her from the photoshoot would show up in weird ways. She was all over the internet! She was an advertisement on the front page of msnbc for a while. But the real kicker was seeing her photo on the wall of a futon store. Like frickin huge. The store was on a corner of a busy intersection. I could see the picture on the wall as I turned the corner. WTF One time I had to stop and go inside just to check if I was making it up. My wife agreed it was her!

      And for like 10 years I would see it used in random places.

      She was and probably is super cute so not surprised she had some luck selling her appearance but JFC I’m pretty sure some dudes fell in love with her. I did to but at least she was interested in me too

        I’ve dated both and guess what? A nice looking woman without tattoos can make you just as miserable as one covered in tattoos. It’s almost like you shouldn’t base your whole selection process on appearances.
