Why do all these rich assholes sound the same? "I see here a thing on the internet that is kind of working. I WILL REMAKE THE ENTIRE INTERNET IN IT! AND IT WILL WORK BECAUSE I AM RICH!"

@jadugar63 they’re not even techbros anymore. They’re just rich guys who think they can make anything true by saying it out loud.

@fraying I can only assume a billionaire real estate mogul’s utopian dreams include a fucking lot of homeless poor people. Can we just banish him from the internet instead?

TikTok is cool. I like it. But it's not the entire internet and no amount of money and delusion will make it that, just like Twitter can't call itself "X" and become "THE EVERYTHING APP" because that's not how the internet fucking works.

The internet is absolutely lousy with delusional assholes talking about how they're making the next internet.

Meanwhile, we have the internet.

The closest thing we've had to single-entity corporate-controlled internet was AOL and it's DEAD and you know what killed it? THE FUCKING INTERNET.
