The case against Facebook – Vox

Everything I’ve been struggling with internally about fb for years now in one coherent article. Here’s the ballsy ending:

To simply walk away from it, shut it down, salt the earth, and move on to doing something entirely new would be an impossibly difficult decision for almost anyone. Nobody walks away from the kind of wealth and power that Facebook has let Zuckerberg accumulate. But he’s spoken frequently about his desire to wield that wealth and power for good. And while there are a lot of philanthropists out there who could donate to charities, there’s only one person who can truly “fix” Facebook by doing away with it.

Apple shit used to be the best, and now it’s just not.

I used to put up with the arrogance of the company and actually find it a bit charming as long as their shit worked way better than anything else. It’s just not true anymore and the arrogance seems more and more user hostile. Apple has more resources than many nations and yet seven years later Siri still sucks hard enough to loose out to a speaker priced $250 less. Why is that? Either Apple is arrogant enough to believe they’re still the best or they’re simply unable to build the best shit these days. Either way, it’s not 1999 anymore. We have other options.
