This is probably right.
Between microtransactions, super casual games, and cheevos, Facebook pioneered it.

Mark Zuckerberg is the biggest fucking hack of all time
He just made a Myspace clone and found a way to market it
I hate his constant :D face and the pretentious nice guy optimism he spouts in updates and press releases

>Myspace clone.
He perfected the Myspace formula. I had a Facebook beta account in 2003 when registration was limited to a small number of universities. You needed to register with your university email to get in.
Facebook succeeded because Myspace profiles were a mess. Annoying music, bad html, non-conformed layout, and (for most users) awful aesthetics. Facebook had a clean, structured profile format that allowed for sharing information and news about yourself in the same format as everybody else- you didn't have to spend a half hour trying to understand what the hell you were looking at.

I think the healthiest thing to do is get occupied or happy enough to forget that those guys exist.
There are people who see through them, and history will speak for itself once it's down on paper.
I kinda like living in a world of morons personally, it's a good reminder that nothing's actually all that serious

It's a logistically well done solution to a moronic proposition, the same as most modern technology. This is how people get rich in the 21st century..

Hi there anita
Seriously though,
was Minecraft the beginning of the cancerous indie game age?
>>342630189
Objectively yes.

MySpace's faults were its users. They wanted to control and customize their profile their own way. When it became mainstream you'd have all these teen sluts and edgy faggots bogging the site down with all their shit, classifying it as some immature site for kids.
It took awhile for Facebook to even give you SOME customizable options, but they love controlling everything you do. It was for people to chat and meet each other. Which admittedly was pretty great. Now it's trying to expand bundle everything together videos, news, general content that might "appeal to you" to control your world view. When your credit report is linked with your Facebook profile there's a problem.
idk personally I want to go back to the chaotic days.
