Users spend on average 20 hrs/m on FB. Both that and DAU have gone up on average across the past 4 years.

The average return per user per year for FB is easily searchable. Its about $10 a year. Why post this without just quickly checking the real number?
The misinfo on Meta and it's business practices is insane.
Whatsapp tried this. People are generally unwilling to pay any amount of money for a service if a free (ad-backed) version exists.
It seems like the people who are supporting this move assume Elon has some secret plan we're not privy too, but if so why would his actions be so erratic?
Really? You've never seen a power only micro-usb cable (missing 2 bus lines)? I have dozens from all types of devices that use USB as a charging only connector.
This has been a problem with every USB iteration (hard to have the U in USB if you aren't able to handle a wide variety of applications), but I vastly prefer it to the early 00s when you might have 5 different cables to each "specialty" application.
America is fully subservient to corporations. Out rights end at their doorways, including freedom of assembly and speech.
To say social media is an exception because it applies rules equally to previously exempt demographics is a joke.
Thankfully HN wasn't around when spell-check was introduced.
Source this.
>You're pretending the US shot, bombed and killed all those civilians, when in fact that was an Iraqi-on-Iraqi sectarian civil war that produced such high civilian deaths,
Typing this and not realizing the obvious parallels to the Donetsk and Luhensk regions of Ukraine is laughable, and forces me to assume you lack the background necessary to make a real comparison between these two situations.
And it will pale in comparison to the 300 thousand civilians killed in the US intervention in Afghanistan alone. At least Russia will likely succeed in it's military objectives.
I also forgot the highway of death... So four off the top of my head.
Is this a joke? I can think of three examples in the past 30 years.
Crop nutrients are obviously a concern, but if you're only trying to survive for a couple of cycles seems totally feasible and could be extended artificially.
> Are you willing to get sued on behalf of the company ?
LLCs exist for a reason, liability is just as easy to determine for a co-op as a dictatorship.
> Are you willing to share all the downsides of running a company ?
These downsides would be shared equally across more people. If anything, co-ops reduce this problem by not hedging the entire company on the decisions of a single person. Do we argue that kings are superior to democracy because they can be hung when something goes bad?
> Are you willing to be the person where the bucks stop with ?
See above. This is not an argument for ownership just as it isn't an argument for monarchy. "The buck stops here" isn't a legally binding contract, and plenty of owners are happy to pass the buck to someone under them.
> Are you willing to do things that a regular employee cannot or will not (e.g. working 80 hour weeks) ?
Wage theft is the #1 form of theft in America. It seems that even owners are not willing to do things employees do.
> Are you willing to not just quit because things are tough ? As an employee, you can quit and tell the company to f off. As an owner, it is not that simple. You cannot get out that easy even if you want to.
Can an owner not sell their share of the company whenever they choose too? Companies, and fractions thereof, are bought and sold all the time. Regardless, most co-ops are not literally owned by their constituents, but rather are incorporated with the sum value of their earnings being split across the workers in the co-op. No different than most small businesses, except decisions are democratically made, rather than handed down.
Your example is absolutely possible in a co-op too, the only difference is you would be making the full value of your labor less expenses, not the amount of that that your boss thinks you deserve.
