It’s not just shitposters. It’s designers and developers who believe that the way to have growth and sustainability is to employ and utilize these tactics. Which is fine, because they are exploring ways to make profits, which of course are necessary. It just has to be optionable. I think it’s much more desirable to rid our lives of these things than people think.

Those are shitposts in my opinion. advertisers basically pay to shit post on podcasts, billboards, television, street signs…

You do have the option to not listen, mute them, unfollow, don’t patronize.

Unfortunately its a method that works to grow profits and usage and shit, marketing and sales are the two most important parts of business because without them you’re not in business very long.

Zapping and direct payments to users who you find valuable is imho a solution, but a long path to walk before the traditional sales and marketing methods are outside of your scope or vision.

Agreed
