What kind of get-off-my-lawn take is that?
Of course because that’s where a lot of the fun is in tech, inventing, learning about, using and talking about new stuff. Newness can make mundane things interesting and entertaining for a while, just look at a child figuring out new things for the first time.
So the point is to be fun for the developers? Because that doesn’t sound like a good thing for the users necessarily.
It’s a lot like a new smaller band, which is trying to make a difference in the world. They might sound terrible, but they have to start somewhere.
Social media companies are not new or small. That’s nonsense. What happened to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?”
Why are you creating narrow strawman arguments from what I’m saying? Being fun is one upside of new things in tech, and for everyone who enjoys that sort of thing.
Trying new things is also the major way to create progress and improve lives over time. Everything you are used to right now was new at some point, and we wouldn’t have any of it if people were just content with what they had. And I think we can all agree that social media needs some real improvements right now.
Okay, why does there need to be progress when it comes to social media? How does that improve lives over time? Most of the new features I see don’t improve anything. They just make things worse. Name the last new Reddit feature that actually made Reddit better. When was it?
