Series Nº 16238 – Social Media Product

Social media: perhaps the most brilliant business model ever devised. Why? Because you do all of the work, you assume all of the risk, and they make all of the money.

Not only that, but you also tell them things that you wouldn’t even tell your closest friends and family. That way, social media companies end up knowing more about you than you even know about yourself. But that’s not all: not only are you the product, you’re also the targeted consumer. And since social media companies know you so well, they also know how to manipulate you into spending as much money as possible. Funny, that.

The solution? Deny social media companies your hard-earned money by buying one of our useless designs instead. Or better yet: buy all of our designs. Think of your misplaced investment in us as a way of wasting your money more effectively.
