Do you have instagram account ? If yes - are you subscribed to ugly, poor or disabled people ?

Ugly, poor, and disabled people are absolutely capable of producing interesting content.

That's not the answer to the question I was asking. I wanted to know how many are watching this content , not if this this content exists . If nobody is watching, then result is the same

I definitely subscribe to some people who could be labelled that way, because I subscribe to interesting content. Most of my favorite YouTubers don't show their face at all, and a few show neither their face nor their voice. But, I am sure you can also find people who discriminate anyway, otherwise we wouldn't need to have conversations about discrimination.

But, there is a very different ethical and practical divide between a company implementing systematic discrimination and discrimination by individual users. This divide is large enough that most western nations have decided to draw their legislative lines there.

Yes, not all of my friends are attractive and rich.

Neither are mine . I'm not subscribed to IG account of poor ugly disabled anyone, though. Should I feel like self-CCP to me ? Feel guilty about myself ?

So you are completely ok with TikTok filtering out content from ugly, poor or disabled users? Because that is what it sounds like.

But they are not ugly/disabled and poor.

There is a word average just you know.

The article said ugly, disabled or poor, not ugly, disabled and poor. You'd think someone on HN would know the difference between the two.
