It's not an extremely well known phenomenon at all. Asserting things while being overly emotional and aggressive isn't evidence.

So: Citation needed.

So are you asking for screenshots from my email of the thread where everyone came together to agree on the terms and execution of the conspiracy, or?

Also, sarcasm isn’t an emotion. I’m English, so perhaps consider that my culture of challenging someone is different from yours before projecting whatever big bad horrible emotional troll hurt your feelings once. Facebook is literally more employees than even populate this dreadful site, but someone says “my roommate’s brother’s uncle by blood works there and I’ve never heard of it so it’s plainly false” and we’re all to just fawn over the precious insight?

I’m sorry, I’ll try again: thanks, ‘mrats. Very brave.

In your estimation, what percentage of Facebook employees know about such extremely well known schemes?

I think this thread firmly establishes the range of such a proportion, but we’ll need the n of ‘mrits social network to arrive at a number. It’s somewhere between “they know a few people” and “their entire waking life is surrounded by Facebook employees” (poor soul) which also bounds our calculations.

This is openly discussed with bemusement on my non-Instagram team is what I can say.

[Rhetorically expresses curiosity at what those terms might have looked like, broadly speaking]

Not the obvious, like "everyone's going to look the other way", but more like... target account upper watermarks, "motivation threshold" (ahem), internal tracking (if any), collective opinion on precedent, etc.

Oh, and scale.
