Yeah and as the article mentions, they’re not talking DAU/MAU numbers.
Which means 175 million is a big ol fat marketing lie.
I’d love to see how many people actually do more than use it once then go ‘meh’ and go back to scrolling instagram.

And this is why I don’t have ANY moral qualms about pirating shit: they’d do it to us in a heartbeat if there was a buck to be made.
So if we light the planet on fire to fuel the AI, the AI will then tell us how to put the fire out.
Okay sure, but how about we just… don’t do any of that?
I mean you can escape it by just not using google’s shit.
I know it’s not an option for everyone, but you can use email that’s not gmail, and online office suites and file sharing that’s not google docs and drive.
(I went with mxroute for email, and a nextcloud with embedded only office for the docs/drive replacement.)
If you want a mostly straightforward WordPress-alike that’s not WordPress, you probably should at least consider Ghost. I’m using it for my blog and it’s got a slightly weird focus on “paid blog members”, but it’s super solid and doesn’t have a multi-decade history of endless security problems.
And, soon, it’ll be a happy member of the Fediverse.

I’m not sure that’s an actual improvement.
Honestly, it feels like being a tech bro requires you to have a brain defect where you read or see something meant to be a warning and it causes you to somehow interpret it as the best idea you’ve ever seen.
Basically sums up the last 20 years of Silicon Valley and their nonstop hopping from dumb to dumber to dumberest.
So Apple is paying them in exposure? First time I’ve ever seen that where it might actually be worth something.
175 million bots, all letting each other know that there’s pussy in bio.
