Comment on Meta takes $40K, holds our business ransom

Comments

Former internal employee can't even get backchannel help with Facebook's insanely customer-hostile purchasing process, has to resort to court of public opinion to (maybe) get resolution.

What a great ad for Meta's regard for their customers. This company actively makes the world worse and anyone giving them a single dollar of revenue is participating in that.

Follow Tesla's example and delete your Instagram and Facebook accounts. "We have to use it for our business" is a lie people tell themselves.

Tesla is the extremely rare example of a business that is interesting enough that people write about them for free. They don't need to advertise.

*was. Tesla's keel the bottom of their demand pool a few quarters ago and are no longer selling evey car made. The 2 levers at their disposal to boost sales are price cuts and marketing (ads), and they've already started on the former...

I know they didn't in the past but they do now. I've seen ads on Youtube from them ever since my adblocker stopped working. Sadly the ads are just straight up stock automotive ads.

Sadly the ads are just straight up stock automotive ads.

I guess it makes sense - all the people who are excited about Tesla as a company don't need the ads. So, reaching people who just want to ... buy a car?
