A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was wondering what motivated Spez to make such a self-destructive move, he has to run the company further into the black to get his IPO. Evidently he's willing to sacrifice a body part to do it.
Anyway I think the profitability of social media has hit a precipice, it's as good as it's going to get. It's like the brain has not yet registered the arm's been cut off.

As a person who's rather left on corporate America anyway, I'm glad I'm here and not there. It's sort of hypocritical of me to participate in corporate driven media and I'm glad I'm not doing it anymore.
