I'm no Meta apologist, but I don't know if we can blame them on this one. Unfortunately in the digital age, everything reverts to the mean so quickly. It probably turns out that the most effective way to capture user attention is to give them an algo feed of addictive slop.

We've been growing quickly and are almost at the point of turning away customers because we don't have enough engineering capacity to service them. We're looking for our second engineer who will focus on customer-facing product features to help wrangle the frustrating and complex world of healthcare administration.
This person will have a hand in all of our core systems, interact closely with our customers and their pain points, and work with an ex-FAANG, ex-YC engineering team.
