Not far much from what he's doing on Youtube, isn't? Posting clickbait titles, crazy thumbnails .. etc to get views, likes and comments to rank up.

I'm not defending Facebook nor attacking Shye, I just want to say that rules are pretty much the same for different games so why criticising one and accepting the other?

Because in one instance, it's a one-man-show, in the other, it's a giant international company?

Let us celebrate this small moment of poignant joy of him being able to give a big “fuck you” gesture to Facebook, before he realizes that the very platform that he was able to express that sentiment is actually owned by Google and he hasn’t really escaped the wrath of Silicon Valley tech companies at all. (Maybe he’s even worse off than before; his labor as a Youtuber isn’t protected by any law at all, and he can lose his job at any moment with a touch of a Google employee’s algorithm.)

I mean, I reckon he's well aware of this, given he was a tech lead at youtube

Because a programing job isn't supposed to be similar to posting videos online???

To add to what Juliate commented, one is a single person, even if he messed up at his work and was dismissed for bad performance and not for the YT channel..

And on the other side we have this CANCER called Facebook, which is managed by a gang of managers that respect nothing and nobody.

And the fun part that nobody commented (I think) is that YT is another brutal violator of everything-privacy, and YT is one main tool in their toolbox.
