The funny thing is, and this happens to every behemoth company is they get too big and end up turning off customers and they go somewhere else. It happened to Sears, Woolworths, Yahoo, Walmart and it will happen to Facebook (what gen-Z USES Fb) and the rest of them as generations change hands they will be mere memories of platforms no longer used.

Like MySpace. AOL was massive at one point too - I sitll use an AOL email.



But I think Facebook isn't going to let that happen. Maybe they will, but I don't think they will.

Becaue Big Tech are all far-left "progressives" pushing progressive trash 24-7, which I believe you are probably cool with?



Google founders, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon's founders are all far-left liberals. In fact almost all the wealthiest billionaires are far-left liberals.

Facebook, because Zuck looks like a cloned android. Buff Bezos didn't seem as threatening by comparison.

Here's a fascinating look at Microsoft's wages, who got promoted, what racial makeup they are. I wasn't sure where else to post it and didn't want to start a new thread. I noticed Microsoft has zero votes in the poll.

Spoiler: The majority of high achievers in the company are asians.

As for this thread I voted Google. Given they control search and sanitize search results, that is the most dangerous thing of them all, because they are the gatekeeper to what people can see. Plus they own youtube. I'd give Facebook an honorable mention.

Shouldn't they all let us make fun of Trump? Or anyone we chose to make fun of?
