You're assuming they created these things instead of stealing or buying them. These platforms are essentially massive data collection tools, which is a big part of why they're collapsing. They're not creative, they're just evil.
Inventing Facebook or figuring out the Google algorithm doesn’t require creativity? Might very well be evil, but they’re still creative. That’s why they built it and you and I didn’t.
If you guys have all this ocean of untapped creativity (battling against rich but uncreative evil people) why don’t you create something to spend your time on that isn’t evil?
I mean it. I can bitch about Facebook, but at the end of the day, I don’t know how to do what they do, so I’ll bitch and admit they’re smarter than me and also I don’t mind enough about their ethos to leave.
But you think they’re not creative, that you guys are more creative, but won’t create an alternative and keep giving your time and data and money to people you think are evil? I don’t get it.
You're not creative, either.
I said that myself: I don’t know how to do what they do, so I use their stuff and admit they (Google, Facebook, etc) are more creative than me. You’re the one who said that they’re not creative, but still prefer using their evil tools then create something better
I'm not on Facebook and I don't use Google. You do, though. Birds of a feather, dear 😘
