You should watch it. It's good, despite being based on true events.

I'm not trying to be facetious, but even watching the fictionalised HBO show Succession gives you at least some idea of how these people think and live.

Sure, it's a satire, but it's loosely based on the Murdoch empire.

They do not see us as human beings. They see us as animals that can be influenced via propaganda, and as much as it pains me to say, it works, and he wouldn't have created the empire he's worked towards if it didn't.

He's almost completed his ultimate goal too, with many Fox hosts now literally holding positions in the US government.

Fox has literally taken over America. I can kind of marvel at it from afar, while being utterly disgusted all the same.

Just pirate content. The streaming wars has fucked consumers hard.

Exactly. He knew where the money and propaganda would flow the best. I hate the cunt, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at least slightly impressed with the empire he's built. Even if I hate everything about it.

Occasionally? I'd argue they've been making social and political commentary since the shows inception tbh.

I'd argue it's working perfectly within the system that's been designed. It's a completely flawed system, but it works for corporations. Absolutely fucked for society though.

App bloat lol. Meta apps are some of the most bloated and resource hungry apps out there.

I had it for a while. Hard to convince people to use it when it has probably less than 10,000 users.

Not even just a "good case." It's scientifically proven. These algorithms tap into the same neural pathways that cause people to have gambling and drug abuse addiction issues.

A VPN should have been my first thought. Rookie error on my part.

Persuading enough people I know to use Signal was hard enough already. I only got lucky because I already had some other friends who were already on the platform. It's much easier to persuade people if you tell them other people are already using it. I just get frustrated that people are too lazy to tap a couple of buttons on their phone to download an app.

Let's be honest, season 4 was pretty lacklustre. The whole "the bad guy is my long last father" trope left such a bad taste in my mouth.
