I've never gone on Ali's blog but I know he's been posting every week so I thought I'd have a look at what he's blessed us with today:

Just filler. Both in the face and the blog entry.

Hot take there, genius.

Aaand that's the whole thing.
Including a quotation from Malala Yousafzai (surprised he could spell her name), it's a grand total of 394 words.
It's honestly got to be a talent to be able to write so little and stuff enough filler in there to make it look like an 'article'. At least he doesn't split "underwhelmed' into 2 separate words like Lydiot.
Not that I expected any of these buffoons to take much from The Social Dilemma, but Frow also mentioned it in her stories several weeks ago and immediately followed it with an ad. It's remarkable how far it flew over their heads.
And to answer Ali's conundrum, a problem not recognised cannot be solved. That's why highlighting the structural issues with social media is so important. Your entire lifestyle is based on the profiteering facilitated by these platforms, and the lack of insight is why you're able to do it without shame or guilt. If you want someone to tell you what you can do to change social media for the better, I'm here with some guidance: get off it. You are but a few cells of this cancerous tumour on society. If you want to make it better, remove yourself and find a way to make an honest living - it's what you were doing before you made money off of lying on the internet.
Not that you'd ever have the guts to do it, but now you can have that niggling feeling of doubt. It's called a conscience, darling, and the rest of us have to live with one too.
