I post on Threads (@mohu) AND Bluesky (@mohusseini.com) at the same time…

On Threads I lose followers (i hate that word but 🤷🏽‍♂️) with every post

On Bluesky the opposite is true.

We just got schooled on #enshittification by a savvy netizen who's not keen on our ad (see our answer). 😂 Meta's audience controls are like a black hole for marketing budgets. Luckily, our growth hacking prowess is becoming a sought-after treasure. #AdNauseam #AlgorithmBlues #BeyondMainstream

An email response addressing a customer's complaint about receiving unwanted ads on Facebook. The sender apologizes for any annoyance caused by the ad but clarifies that Facebook, not their company, controls ad distribution based on user interactions, which is seen as positive feedback by the platform's algorithms. The sender expresses dissatisfaction with this system, noting it benefits Facebook financially. They mention not reporting the incident to Facebook as the platform is primarily concerned with profit, referencing Cory Doctorow's term "enshittification" and Leonard Cohen's work on similar themes. The sender agrees with the customer's dislike of ads and algorithms, appreciating the customer's feedback. They suggest leaving Facebook as a solution to avoid such ads and the associated "enshittification." The email closes with an offer of further assistance, a thanks, and regards.
