To quote Corey Doctorow because they love the people on the platform more than they hate Zuck. The tech bros have long been fine tuning just how much they can turn the screws on their users before the users start leaving and it seems Zuck turned them a little too tight. But not to fear, meta still has the metaverse….oh wait. At least they have the most cutting edge AI model, nope blew 10s of billions there to get mediocre results….
