Some brief searching suggests that Richie Rich's major burden was that he was so nice and charitable that nobody, rich or poor, ever believed he was acting in good faith, and assumed he was working some angle. So I guess the parallel here is that no one believes Zuck is going to behave honestly with Threads just because of his history of doing bad things and suffering no consequences.
It's a professionally made, slick Hollywood film. To me, that doesn't make it "great". I don't particularly like that style of slick filmmaking to begin with, and the intellectual vacuity, combined with apologizing for billionaires, really puts me off. YMMV in this as in all things, obviously.
I'm reluctant to go on threads because of the massive privacy violations, in part. "You can't comment on threads without giving Zuckerberg you're info which he will exploit" doesn't seem like a fair standard, imo. You don't need to get hit in the face to know that you'd prefer not to be hit in the face.
I'm glad you're having a good experience there, though.
Yeah. I may end up on threads eventually. It sounds like it's a level worse than facebook's other products though, which is why they're not making it available in the EU.

Thanks for reminding me why I never watched this movie. 😁
hah; I had avoided it for a long time!

Gah, maybe I should get on there. Just feel stretched thin on other networks already../
Also you can’t get on on the web; it’s all through the app, which is not my preference...
yep.
