My spidey senses tell me that Facebook and Twitter have begun periodically spinning off artificial competing shell orgs that resemble this service. They use the data gathered from signups to run demographic analysis on users who are likely to leave their platform, and can additionally point to these companies as evidence of existing competition in anti-trust cases. Parler, a so-called Twitter alternative that mysteriously won't publish its list of backers, is another good example of this type of company. What is a ham-sandwich photo and copypasta spammer to do?

We are most definitely not facebook algorithms. We actually posted a video on YouTube, hastily put together about why we made it. Though I can't really argue your logic.

this is a brilliant insight that i've never considered before but would probably bet my entire networth that it's the type of scummy/genius thing facebook would do.
