Love this but i'll bet Facebook/insta/Amazon/apple/etc are as popular as ever in Canada.
That's what happens when companies illegally leverage their monopolies to extinguish any competition.
Digital. Services. Tax.
Bring it back. Fuckem.
Fuck who?
Yes
The Rotten Pumpkin admin, of course.
You're suggesting USA taxes Canada for using digital services?
No, it would be a tax on revenues that amazon, facebook, adobe, xitter, etc extract from Canadians. Digital Services. Subscriptions, software, that kind of thing.
Oh okay, then yeah I'm here for it.
The reality is most people just dont care where a service originates from, as long as its good. You wouldn't think it based on the internet, but most people arent on the internet to make points about things.
But they aren't good.
I literally just said "a service" and thus meaning any service. Therefore, your response suggests that all services arent good.
They mean good as in "functions well" not good as in "is not evil."
As did the person you replied to.
That's part (the lesser part, but still important) of why I hate when news orgs use an angry dude on twitter as their example of someone who is up in arms about something.
The Internet is not representative of the population. The people posting are self selected. It's the same reason if you go looking for coffee advice you'll find a thousand posts with advice about roasting your own beans while most people are drinking Starbucks, Dunkin, Folgers, and Maxwell House.
The great majority of people do not give a shit what the Internet is doing. A lot of people look but only a teeny tiny slice are posting about it.
I only use Facebook for my business. Mostly just social posts about things which act as promotion. That said, I'm not seeing the results I saw a few years ago. Far fewer interactions on posts, almost no comments. I'm not sure it's worth doing these days. We get more client contacts from our webpage than via facebook. We're doing a ton more business these days than a few years ago, so I know it's not coming from Facebook.
We have a business instagram account as well, but I use a third party to post to facebook/insta and it commonly has an issue posting to instagram. I have personal facebook and insta accounts but I never use them (expect to log into the business accounts). As a user, I can't stand either of those platforms.
I don't subscribe to any streaming service. Haven't for over 3-4 years.
I do use youtube. I also have a business and a personal youtube account that are monitized so I throw videos up a few times a month.
I only use Amazon for my business and even then orders are rare. I try to order from Canadian vendors when possible.
You use lemmy. No one you know uses lemmy. You are literally the minority of minorities
Most people likely think this is a Motörhead fan forum
That's true. I hate Marvel and Star Wars movies as well. I'm definitely an outlier.
I know someone who used FB for business. They said engagement was amazing to start with but it was as if FB started hiding their posts to encourage them to pay to promote them.
We tried a paid promotion on facebook a few years back just to see how it did.
It got shit results.
Probably but those services are shit anyways and people should stop using them.
Europe is working on alternatives, it takes time but I think people will switch.
