"IG is a drug": Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial

5 hours ago (arstechnica.com)

All social media is a drug, and I lump Discord in there as Social Media, especially if WhatsApp is social media for many outside of the US.

  • Somehow WhatsApp implemented Snapchat-esque stories, and also channels that broadcast such stories (e.g. I can subscribe to updates from FC Barcelona), because hey, Zuck probably thought "who needs shame, we're going to copy functionaliy in order to destroy the competition".

    • You mean my "away" autoresponse I set for MSN for an hour or wast it AIM? jokes aside, yeah they all copied it, look at YouTube too.
