It wasn’t a success because of that. People just don’t care about the Facebook Papers and the Twitter exposes.

They either already suspected it, and this just confirms it, or they don’t give a fuck, they just want a place to post inane statuses and talk to people, because it’s social media.

Sadly they are sheep and they never will wake up.

I can’t imagine willingly working for a company this openly evil. Imagine sitting through an all hands like this.

They don’t care whether you call it Facebook or Meta.
All they care about is that enough people were talking about the name change, so that they were distracted from the real controversy (which is the “Facebook Papers” revalations)

Of course he knows, don’t think these people are stupid. Still it limited the amount of news about the Facebook Papers by giving the press something else to write about. This post proves it even more.

And yet in the long run, they can make the name Meta stick, just by behaving like the renaming was a huge success and just ignoring everyone who calls the whole company Facebook.

If you like it or not over time Facebook will be just one of their brands, also probably not even the most attractive one.

Woah, the disrespect for DMX!! X gonna give it to ya for that one!

The song was basically a diss track aimed at DMX among others. Not sure if you were being sarcastic and knew that, but just in case you didn’t. The previous section of the verse is “Motherfuck D, Motherfuck M”

I’ll be honest I have no idea who any of those people are except xzibit from pimp my ride and obviously DMX. But yea was just trying to make a silly joke 😅

Can’t be forgetting Zero’s partner, either.

Ever heard the criticism about some movie villains being “comically evil and unrealistic”? Well, tell those critics you’re sorry. Like even the MCU villains are realistic enough at this point. Matter of fact, Obadiah Stane is the perfect representation of one of these evil motherfuckers. That’s why he’s the scariest villain in the whole franchise.

Jokes on him, the app is still called Facebook on my Android!
