The Dead Internet Theory (video, Invidious, 29:14 length)
Interesting video, while bits of it will seem tin foil hat or a bit sensationalist, some definite interesting angles and ideas. What also struck me, and I didn't know this before, was the part that mentions DARPA's LifeLog project. It was shut down in 2004 amid privacy concerns and backlash. Literally a month later, Facebook is launched.
Coincidence? You tell me.
@eldersnake I'll bet itw as a case of LifeLog wasn't able to figure out how to "monetize" whereas Facebook™ which was originally called "The Facebook", which was _actually_ free at one
@eldersnake I'll bet itw as a case of LifeLog wasn't able to figure out how to "monetize" whereas Facebook™ which was originally called "The Facebook", which was _actually_ free at one point let's not forget, ran their first ads and then went from there. To be fair to Mr. Zuckerberg, the guy is a complete incompetent drop-out really:
> Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard in his sophomore year in order to complete his project.33
He had no idea how to run a company or a business or make money, so he hired really smart people that did.
That was and is how Facebook™ became what it is otday IHMO, now called Meta™.
It started out with good intentions, but Mark ended up hiring folks along the way that cared for nothing else but making $$$ 😢
(_of course I bet he's enjoying those Billions and Billions and Billsions and Billions_)
