Meta promised more exposure for my small business posts, didn’t deliver.

Wait… They promised more exposure if you verified your account?
A broader audience: Reach more people across comments, search and recommendations.
Or so they claimed…
Does anyone remember being around people, when you were a kid, that awarded you behavioral stickers that are holographic and had various shapes like stars or animals?
This is exactly what this stupid verification thing is about. OoOOOoO, I’m so special that I got a fucking checkmark next to my name and I actually spend money that could’ve gone to something else worthwhile just to keep it! /s
I feel like we’re in a world where all of these companies are fronted by childish adults that treat all of their userbases like these kinds of kids. But they pretend that they’re adults because they do business things.
For the same price as an entire TV subscription where you can watch hundreds of shows and movies, all month if you’d like, would you like to have a few pixels change next to your name and have your experience be almost entirely the exact same as it is for free?
These people are out of touch
Until they both lose money and users measurably from these changes, they will copy one another to chase every last cent.
People on Threads are still delusioned that it’s different from Twitter lol
The irony of this being posted on a reddit clone…
Why? Lemmy is not just a clone. It’s fundamental rework of the platform. With Threads it’s exactly the same thing just a different billionaire.
“available later this week” and they didn’t even bother including the price in the local currencies?
Society has gone full rigatti.
If you’re gonna say it, actually say it.
That’s awefly needy of you. Why exactly should anyone give a single fuck about what you want, dick-tater.
I’m just confused why you’re censoring yourself. I don’t need or want anything from you. If you’re worried about saying a word that you think is offensive, don’t say it. If you’re not worried, say it.
I mean, shows how these people think. You should pay for everything, even the natural stuff like identity.
Of course, if people are willing to pay, well…

Google has had many successful products since AdWords & AdSense
Had being the primary word after Google cancelled them.
Don’t be a fanboi for an advertising company. Google is a shit company that has produced by and large garbage while letting their primary user facing products wilt on the vine over the past 4 years.
Elon owns Twitter not Google. Not sure how you got into comparing Facebook with Google

I can understand why they are doing this, the programming require to roll out a feature like this is minimal, so even if they barely profit from it, if at all, they didn’t spend a lot of time on doing this feature, so, expect other platforms to soon follow.
It’d be one thing if they were adding any more value or removing their marketing surveillance, but paying this much per month for a blue check mark is just bonkers.
People need to stop acting like it’s crazy to pay for the software and servers you use.
I have a monthly subscription for contributing to the lemmy server I am using.
Still I believe that a monthly-paid verification is stealing, as verification process has to be done only once
Are they gunna stop making money off my data if I subscribe to this? No? Didn’t think so.
