eh? do people still use reddit even? last i heard they have employees actively create threads now to try and keep engagement going.
tying up in assets such as property, land, etc. has real value though. you can sell a huge amount of land without the land losing value because of the sale, but you can’t sell a huge amount of stock without the value collapsing while selling it off.
any exposure is good exposure. investors don’t normally run away just because you earn yourself notoriety, they usually do the opposite - because the market is entirely made of make belief and fairy dust.
he isn’t the richest man in the world. his “wealth” is stock. not actual money. and he can’t actually use that for anything but leverage.
he is small fry in the world of the actually rich; people just give him the limelight because of notoriety.
he doesn’t actually have his wealth. it’s estimated stock value; which would cascade to nothing the minute he tries to extract it. all he can do is borrow with stock as leverage; which would net him a lot of money sure; but there is no way they would approve billions in a loan unless he is very very specific on the investment goal.
Things that are only relevant, because they are relevant, are not actually relevant. It’s fluff dressed in a suite.
Like they say, fashion is only fashionable because others thinks others thinks it’s fashionable.
As long as everyone keeps talking about Musk all over the place, he’ll keep coming out at top.
they should, especially as a smaller business, as data leaks could run into GDPR problems. my ex-employer, for example, handled all customer data in plaintext and never delete data for people who were no longer customers. he also insisted on using non-secured channels for business related information/secrets. and zero backup systems. malware ripe for the taking lol. had one system crash and he went mental but refused to accept a backup solution. absolutely no understanding of IT and deaf to any recommendations because of fear that he’d be unable to replace me with a cheaper employee once i was done setting everything up.
three years later, three employees later, and the cheaper replacements were unable to do anything anyway and it’s all broken now. but i’m sure in his mind it’s all my fault.
so yes, they don’t, either due to incompetence or to cut corners. but they definitely should.
i don’t support the idea of federating with threads; but as the platform is not available in europe - if they did activate federation, europeans would in theory flock to whatever instance federated with threads. which could be a boon for the wider fediverse; and could earn pixelfed and similar platforms room for competition with instagram etc.
at least you get to use whatsapp. i happen to be bound to the only two countries on the damn planet that near exclusively use facebook messenger for everything including corporate business support. i’d take whatsapp over facebook messenger any day.
of course, i’d take neither given the choice. but still.
yes. they’re “censoring” algorithms designed to create engagement=profit, which are causing massive harm to society. i don’t see anything wrong with it at all. and like you, i’m on the fediverse because there isn’t an algorithm, our exposure is curated by us, not by engagement-bot-5.
