Yeah it sounds like he walked into an intelligence agency hornet's nest, knowingly or not. Not that Meta isn't worse.

It lost money for years, and investors kept pumping money into it. Something's up.

The creepiest conspiracy theory about social media is that the CIA started a social media site then shut it down, and along comes Facebook a couple of weeks later.
Then the revelation that isn't a conspiracy theory, that all of the major social sites have a behind the scenes network where they coordinate to completely ban someone from all social media. Like an Internet star chamber.

I personally believe MySpace was legitimate. Every social media site after that has been a setup.
I have known this since FB came on the scene and was immediately touted as the MySpace replacement even though it was so bland and boring in comparison.
I witnessed all the closeted normies exit from MySpace en masse and that's when I knew what was up.

2:02 imagine moving to the most ridiculously expensive crime, drug, homeless infested hell hole in the United States and believing you're a "failure" because you couldn't make it work there.
Hooooooooooooollllly cowabunga.
How far behind the curve is someone who believes LA/hollywood is still the land of dreams it was made out to be in the 1940s?? Cuz that's how far back you gotta go for that shit to be even remotely true on any level.

I'm really seeing an opportunity for a social site that's square and level.
No algorithm. No gamifying. No dopamine tampering. No ads. No tracking. No e-begging except for throw me a dime if you feel like it.

When you're just starting out in life...
You don't gravitate to the most ridiculously overpriced area in the country.
You go to a cheap place that isn't glamorous whatsoever, has no reputation at all...
And you work your way to a better and more desirable place in life.

I mean, the whole west coast is stupid expensive... I dunno that there's much of a difference.
Beachy places down in the south have a lot of homeless and drugs too.
Nowhere is perfect, but not everywhere is insanely overpriced for what you're getting either.

You gotta go to one of the few remaining states with cheap (comparatively) houses, get a loan and pay it down and live a humble life. People with these stupid hollywood dreams in 2023 boggle my mind, especially because they're all young. As if they haven't been RAISED ON THE FUCKING INTERNET, as if they haven't been holding global opportunity and fame potential in the palm of their hand since they were like 10. It's called a smartphone.
What the fuck is wrong with these people.

I knew Swoop's teeth looked too good to be natural, but I figured she just did some kinda crazy extreme whitening treatments or something. She looks... fucking amazing.

And yeah, she does look good. But...

This is a really great example of why makeup, good lighting, and other tricks of fakery are DANGERRRROUUUSSSS.

Then that means she's not needy, and she ain't out fishin' to catch a dick.
So I approve.
