  • The illusion of infinite growth on “free use” ad based business dies when investment funds demand more benefits from former startups now turned into corporations whose only asset of value is the their users’ data. You are the product, so it’s time to squeeze you.

    I think such data is currently overvalued on a overgrown ad-targeting market with too many competitors, and adding more ads only devaluates each ad value further, because users’ consuming capacity also has a limit. So I see a severe correction coming. Another bubble burst, and another crisis inside the crisis that late capitalism itself is.

    Indeed. Our dependence in this kind of tourism also generates a low productivity economy with an underpaid and seasonal labor market, which leads to a lot of social problems. It’s really quite sad to be the “fiesta” country. I hope we are increasingly aware that this model is unsustainable and make a much needed change. Thanks for you kindness.









  • I always used RiF and never tried any other third party app because I didn’t feel the need to. Coming to lemmy I tried every alternative I found and stayed with Voyager (formerly wefwef). It’s a WPA inspired by the defunct Apollo client for reddit and I’m liking it even more than RiF, although it’s quite different. Being a WPA streamlines the development and it shows, it reached v1.0 a few days ago. Jerboa was ok when it was the only alternative to plain web interface, but right know is quite behind imo.
