WhatsApp has a better image on this kind of stuff, but I’ve found it to be even more obnoxious when it comes to nagging you to enable push notifications.
That doesn’t necessarily prove your point. It’s possible that advertising and install counts are lagging indicators, and that there are leading indicators like engagement showing trouble down the road. Anecdotally I’ve heard that this is the case.
My solution has been to unfollow everyone. I still get event notifications, I can still use messenger, but I don’t see ads (the home screen thinks I’m a new user), and it’s one less endless feed to be addicted to. I check it every couple of days, and spend 0 time on site.
Less work than it sounds like. And as you say, bad for them, good for us.
Uniquely? Do you really have a hard time finding news sources that align with your views? This has been a solved problem since the invention of the newspaper.
Ironically, this is now the top comment in this thread. While I’m firmly in the “this is madness” camp, I disagree that there’s a lack of bitcoin skepticism on HN. There’s just also a lot of exhuberance.
The skeptic arguments are not especially hard to find or understand. People just get dollar signs and don’t want to hear it.
I don't understand how people can confidently characterize the nature of crypto trading volume. How do you know where the bulk of trading volume is coming from? There's nothing whatsoever stopping wash trades. With sufficient capital you can massively manipulate trading volume.
A lot of the replies in this thread seem to conflate demanding basic respect with being unwilling to start at the bottom. All of the signals OP lists are good indicators of either toxic culture or disorganization.
Why is it such a sign of millennial moral decay to ask for everything you can get? The company on the other side of the table is certainly going to.
