    People are not drawn to the platform in a positive way by talking about it negatively on Lemmy…

    It’s like you idiots take basic expressions like, “any attention is good attention” and turn it in to a fucking axiom for life. It IS NOT TRUE in all contexts. Fucking grow up and realize generalities are SPECIFICALLY NOT TRUE in all cases. Ever. Generalities are always fucking stupid to use to judge specific occurrences unless it is a quintessential example. Which very VERY few things are quintessential examples of, “any attention is good attention.”.

    Something that’s self-perpetuating doesn’t extinguish without being actively stamped out. Noticing it’s still around is the most basic observation that means nothing about it except that it’s still an existant problem.

      I mean sure, people aren’t drawn to it in a positive way but advertiser’s don’t really care how you’re drawn as long as you’re drawn.

      As for the rest of your comment I’m not really sure how to respond to be honest. Doesn’t seem to relate to our conversation but good to get off your chest I guess.

      Unlike systemic racism though this conversation isn’t self perpetuating so I’m going to peace out and let it die like I wish everyone would do with X.

      Have a good one and might catch you around in the next post about X. We’re overdue for a new one by now I’m sure.
