Wow r/technology is really napping. This is literally last week's news. Fwiw today the stock was up 8 % albeit from a very low price.

Nah nah dude we don't need actual news. Bring on some of those businessinsider Meta articles, thats REAL journalism

This sub downvotes everything in new. It’s a surprise anything makes it onto the front page at all.

Unless it’s an article/rumour of something negative happening to Meta, regardless of its factual basis.

GhostalMedia t1_itq458a wrote on October 25, 2022 at 2:15 PM

Looking at the homepage of this sub now, almost every article is about the misdeeds of technology companies. No one actually upvotes articles about interesting tech anymore.

This sub is basically the technology arm of /r/worldnews where people just get their rage boners on big tech and China

Are you saying there is a positive to metas recent business venture?

I'm genuinely interested in reading up on it if it exists

downonthesecond t1_itrfyww wrote on October 25, 2022 at 7:26 PM

r/Technology also has history of filtering posts, a reason it hasn't been a default page for almost a decade.

GhostalMedia t1_itszq0n wrote on October 26, 2022 at 2:02 AM

Yeah, should probably find a better tech subreddit. I’m only still subscribed because I’ve had a Reddit account since the Digg v4 revolt.

Tandittor t1_itoujwj wrote on October 25, 2022 at 5:44 AM

Form what I've observed over the past few years, this sub does not keep up with the financial markets, nor do many of the people that comment and upvote here know much about the financial markets.

Winnie the pooh reelected himself king of china. The chinese market had a huge selloff in response. That money had to go somewhere, so it looks like other global markets are up.

Snapchat is the superior lowkey social sharing platform and if you don’t think so, you’re entitled to your opinion

stormrunner89 t1_itqwjyw wrote on October 25, 2022 at 5:22 PM

But are they making money? Seems like it would be tough to monetize, but I guess if they farm the data of users it wouldn't be too bad for them.

Though I guess stock price doesn't really have much to do with if the company actually makes money or not.

Honkey-Kong t1_itqzf8v wrote on October 25, 2022 at 5:41 PM

Maybe they aren’t making as much money as they were during the pandemic but Snapchat has yet to see it’s prime. Mark dem words

Lifewhatacard t1_itp8mdr wrote on October 25, 2022 at 9:01 AM

So drug sales are down 30% you say?

uvrx t1_itpbfbc wrote on October 25, 2022 at 9:41 AM

Drugs are 30% off? Might make an account for research purposes.

se7en41 t1_itorwfh wrote on October 25, 2022 at 5:13 AM

I remember when there were apps floating around on the Play Store to bypass the "no screenshots allowed" in their first year or so.

Faaaaack I'm old.

SwallowYourDreams t1_itoyt2j wrote on October 25, 2022 at 6:39 AM

All "hacks" aside: what people conveniently forgot was they uploaded all sorts of sensitive stuff to the servers of a publically traded company that offered their (proprietary) services for "free" and made a pinky promise to delete people's shit after delivery. Even the old story about the Easter Bunny is more believable.

Ah yes, a database full of nudes from underage kids. A true goldmine for a public company.

personal-self-promoted social media is DEAD

over sharing is whack

nudes are played out

unsolicited dick picks are gross

being constantly invested in what other people are or what you are doing is exhausting

updating and switching from platform to platform is a rat race

99OBJ t1_itoscwu wrote on October 25, 2022 at 5:18 AM

Old news. I have to say though, I think they have a lot going for them. They’re really shifting focus towards being more of a general photography company as opposed to just a social media app. Will continue to be big players in AR.

I'm shocked Snap among others haven't announced a text based competitor to Twitter, since it's about to implode under mismanagement. Will Reddit take all that traffic now?

For some reason I thought of Yik Yak. It grew in popularity the same time Snapchat did, and would have been a great alternative to Twitter.

Snap was kinda neat at first. I mean they really pushed the AR stuff. Too bad their glasses didn't work out. Seems like they have a major pedo problem though. I can't imagine how many articles I've seen about catching predators on there. Dick pics and fentanyl is not a good look.

Ste p1: Stop the useless notifications for filters and the ghostly added friend alerts.

Step 2: Stop adding BS bloat to the app. Keep it simple stupid.

Step 3: PROFIT

Its like tech companies are in the 7th ring of being out of touch with what users want.
