    ‘We pushed shit on everyone and a bunch of them are using it’ never ever ever vindicates pushing shit on people. People use shit that’s pushed on them! Do you know how low that bar is?!

    I am a vocal defender of the underlying technology, and this is still some bullshit.

      Cigarettes, credit scores, fidget spinners, AI slop on facebook, payday loans!

      They may as well make the same argument about advertisements in general: “we filled Instagram with obnoxious ads and a bunch of them are clicking!”
