Critics of zuckermuskian media claim those services are so terrible because they’re for-profit entities, capitalist enterprises hitched to the logic of extraction and profit above all else.

After all, the reason so many of us got on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram is because they used to be a lot of fun. They were useful. They were even great at times.
