I don’t think they are some evil scourge on humanity, but I also don’t like them and won’t work for them.

For a few reasons: they copy/steal or acquire all their new ideas, have diluted most of the real human element of their social network products into “promoted” content or “recommended” reel spam - leading to an “Instagram culture” of flexing and showing off to gain an audience.

But I do agree with you that “misinformation” and user data issues are blown out of proportion.
