My enshittification story*: Instagram has been suggesting people for me to follow. It markets them to me by saying “friend X follows this person!” But friend X does not follow this person. Friend X has no tenable connection to this person. Why are you bullshitting me, Zuck? Is the autoplag outflow drain hooked up to Insta?

LinkedIn cold-emailed me this morning to suggest that I follow Vivek Ramaswamy, who lists his job title as "Founder at Vivek Ramaswamy"
he's a self-made man, apparently
Gonna change my name to Goldman Sachs and style myself as my own founder.
Vivek “I gave birth to myself” Ramaswamy
Your family wants to see you post on threads bullshit is laughable
