I don't use Instagram Reels much anymore since uninstall the app about 6 months ago, but once in a while I absent-mindedly click into it from the browser. And I cannot believe just how bad the content it is feeding me has gotten.

Every. Other. Reel. is something that is overtly racist, sexist, or horrible (i.e. mocking someone with down syndrome.) When I used the app, my "algorithm" was basically skateboard videos, cats, rock climbing, and left-wing comedy skits. Traces of that remain, but the majority of content has become hypertoxic.

I can't tell if this is the new normal for Instagram, or if the algorithm has "reset" for me and this is what Zuck wants a late 20s white guy in America to be seeing on a regular basis. There's undeniable convenience for Zuck and how he's positioned himself in normalizing this stuff given the larger political picture and how he's aligned himself with Trump.

Anyone else having a similar experience?

I had NO interest in reading Sarah Wynn-Williams "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism".

Then I read that Mark Zuckerberg tried to stop the publication of the book.

Then I HAD to read it.

A very well written, exciting book -- I could not put it down. I had a low opinion of Facebook, now it is far far lower. My low opinion of Zuckerberg and Sandberg is now subterranean.

Wynn-Williams was the Director of Public Policy at Facebook for several years and had a front row seat to all the goings-on.

WIRED · How to Avoid US-Based Digital Services—and Why You Might Want ToBy Violet Blue

«An exposé by a former employee of Meta has become a bestseller despite the social media company banning the author from promoting the book.

»"Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former director of global public policy at Meta’s precursor, Facebook, topped the New York Times bestseller chart and will be fourth on the Sunday Times nonfiction hardback chart this weekend.

»Wynn-Williams’ memoir is her account of seven years she spent at the company. She “had become part of what reads like a diabolical cult run by emotionally stunted men babies, institutionally enabled sexual harassers and hypocritical virtue-signalling narcissists”.»

The Guardian · Meta exposé tops bestseller chart despite company’s attempt to ban its promotionBy Ella Creamer

Apparently the entire world needs to read "Careless People" by Sarah Wynn-Williams #carelesspeople #meta
If Meta (read #zuck) is willing to go so far as to give her a gag-order and go to court to stop any promotion of the book, I say we should al en-masse buy the thing and read it ASAP.

Never forget that the same techbro minds that want to bring us the #TurdReich are the minds that thought people would replace normal life with the Metaverse for even a hot second after "Stay at Home" orders were lifted.

Y'all, we can beat these people. They're fools.
