So, Zuck's plan is basically to "get rid of ads" and replace them with custom ai-generated ads for each user with a single prompt from the adverser. Facebook's AI ad engine will generate, run AB tests, improve and repeat, millions of times.

"In general, we’re going to get to a point where you’re a business, you come to us, you tell us what your objective is, you connect to your bank account, you don’t need any creative, you don’t need any targeting demographic, you don’t need any measurement, except to be able to read the results that we spit out"

We are so fucked.

fuck zuck, we will live free

scary stuff, butįµ— we will live free

If only North Koreans had internet access so they could see the horrors Americans have to endure.

They would be appalled

If only there were some sort of decentralized value for value social media protocol we could use instead of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp šŸ¤”

There is also nothing to stop someone using the same techniques on Nostr. Paying for AI bots to give fake engagement, ai generated ads.. how do you *prevent* it on an open source, decentralised social media platform?

Can't prevent it.

Reply spam can be **mitigated** client side with reporting & muting; global spam will always exist. It's easy to ignore from my npubs perspective.

For spam to effectively reach my attention today on nostr, it needs to be a zap with at least 100 or 1000+ sats.

(There are some ads I'd actually describe as "good" that came to me this way through nostr)

Correction: Meta users are fucked.

Yes and no. In essence, their business model is replicable.

Yep. If Google copies it, which they obviously will, that's 60 % of the market.

They are everywhere.

This was coming. Aldo Musk's move with Grok wasn't a coincidence.

Also*

But why using Google though?

Google is everywhere. You don't have a choice. Like .. every website has Google analytics. Most ads you see are Google's, regardless if you use their products or not.

The matrix intensifies the more people leave.

Or not.

People will opt out of their products but not before Zuck spams hundreds of millions of advertising dollars worth of fake AI leads into thousands of CRM systems to companies that fall for his BS.

Don't use Facebook

Ya sounds like it's gonna be easy to game the system.

That's not "getting rid of ads" šŸ¤” L402 is how you get rid of ads

Ad revenue was the only thing going for them in Q1. They know they are losing users and engagement compared to the others, where LinkedIn reported Q1 engagement was up. Meta has sunken costs in AI, so there you go.

Ugh. No thank you.

Or just have your AI ā€œfriendsā€ influence you on a purchase and Meta gets paid for it

Zuck basically wants to automate manipulation at scale. No more creative effort, no more human strategy…just a firehose of AI-optimized persuasion designed to exploit every personal weakness for profit. The scariest part? Most people won’t even realize it’s happening. This isn’t advertising anymore…it’s behavioral control.

Nostr doesn’t fix this…

There’s nothing to stop anyone using the same techniques on Nostr. 🧐

Fuck Zuck

i wonder if FB will ever die, it's users don't give a shit about the surveillance it seems

Why don't we just connect our bank accounts as consumers too, then Facebook and the corporations can just choose all our purchases. Much easier.

As a small business owner this sounds almost too good to be true. I have never spent money on marketing so far but this is seriously tempting.

As a user, yeah it sucks. Or it would if I used Facebook. But at this point it feels like anyone still on there deserves this.

he sounds like he has really turned a corner /s

This is bad news only for marketets.

Somebody uses Facebook? Really?

still billions but mostly in poor countries

India. 373.2 million.

United States. 192.7 million.

Indonesia. 117.4 million.

Brazil. 110.7 million.

Mexico. 90.6 million.

Philippines. 86.9 million.

The boomers are gonna buy even more useless shit, smh

not sure i get this... šŸ˜•

I want a protocol where the Internet Slop Merchants like 'Zuck' pay me for my attention, not the other way round.
