We can sell a lot of tickets on Facebook.

We post probably content from this show on Facebook.

Facebook's now settling lawsuits with people because it's now proven that Meta's algorithm has...

you know, driven people, I think to kill themselves and stuff.

I think that's what's going on.

Like that the algorithm has focused on, on negativity and it has incentivized and encouraged, uh, the type of behavior that has led people to have serious psychological conditions.

So medicine, um,

They're settling somewhat.

Like, we all know someone who's gone insane on social media.

We all know that.

You all have an aunt.

We've all existed in this world long enough to know someone who has genuinely become a schizophrenic on social media.

We know that person.

We know someone who at one time was fun and who is now a schizophrenic.

And that's sad, and I don't know what can be done about it, but we know that that exists.

So what I was talking about before, in March, the company, Meta, alongside YouTube, lost a bellwether lawsuit alleging that its addictive design choices triggered anxiety, depression, and body image issues in a teenager.

Waiting in the wings are over 100,000 similar cases seeking claims in the tens of billions of dollars.

Also, you know, people have talked about foreign influence campaigns using meta, misinformation campaigns using these sites or whatever.

So this article in the Times is basically saying that although Meta is still doing very well in the sense that they've made a lot of money, there's a few key markers that show that the company itself is beginning to decline.

And that could be irreversible.
