I won't be novel in saying huge tech companies are roughly what Big Tobacco was a few decades ago.
By now the harm they cause is increasingly clear, but everyone's hooked. It's hard or impossible to quit cold-turkey, and they know it.
So they milk it as long as they can, and engage in irrelevant performative actions (Zuck apologized, but did not offer any compensation) to make it rain as long as possible.
Yeah, excuse me for not having the stomach for the hype they peddle as a distraction. 🤷♀️
