And that ruddy Simon Cowell one!! 🙂

...if Facebook (and other social media platforms!) algorithms are so bleedin' good why can't they pick this sort of spam up? Every group I'm in just gets filled with this shit constantly, to the point where moderators of those groups are considering closing them.

'Don't use Facebook then' is the easy answer, but there are some really useful groups on there.

And band related pages - "I have x4 tickets for sale" - yeah of course you do love. Because you were going to fly from Alabama to watch a band who can just about fill a large pub!! 🤣

That would imply that Zuckerberg has any interest in doing so, but he doesn’t, any more than Musk does. It’s all part of the commercialisation and commodification of such platforms.

Clicks = cash. They don't care what is being clicked or shared as long as they get eyeballs checked instantly on the screen they can sell ad space for a premium. It's why they don't do anything about conspiracy stuff, false information or click bait stuff. If they limited social media to factual stuff and what your friends were up to the the business model would fall down.
