The per viewer cost saving must be fractions of a penny.

For a national television, sure. For the hundreds of thousands of small influencers seeing this free advertisement on TV, it would be a major cost saving.

Imagine all the ladies from the tiktok mills not having to make funny faces on camera for hours at a time anymore.

Talk about the uncanny valley… They look like an instagram filter dialed up to 11.

For real. The new logo was the reason I switched back then. It was a tough experience, but worth it.

More taxes being available to the government means better public services.

You forgot the /s

More sponges to begin with.

People hear “technology” and imagine Facebook, when in fact technology means not dying after scratching your foot on a dirt road.

The best thieves steal from the poor.

Can’t wait for the first pair of twins to sue each other.

I can see the headlines… “Tesla. De-funding the police!”
