  Funny take, because they wouldn’t be shown branded content AT ALL, unless people voluntarily followed the brands. Then, if those brands spammed everyone’s feed and everyone saw it all and it overwhelmed them, then people would unfollow those brands. You would only see what you wanted to see, from the people and organizations you wanted to see it from, and you’d see everything they posted, rather than a black box algorithm choosing what to amplify, what to hide, and what to insert into your feed. No algorithm sounds like heaven.

  Have you seen the windows version? It’s basically been MVP since the beginning, it’s only recently started looking like they cared. In addition to lacking basic library management features, for years, if you were connected through a VPN, it would constantly reload while you were looking through the store or your library so you couldn’t even browse to buy stuff or look at your games.

  “a few bad apples” and “rogue officers” are the “boys will be boys” of law enforcement apologism.
