What do folks in Google and Facebook (and others too) think about the recent Netflix documentary called The Social Dilemma?
Personally, I think it's very accurate in that these platforms are doing more harm than good and it's a problem stemmed by many factors, one of the biggest being the need for publicly traded corporations to always grow.
What does it mean for people working in this industry knowing that you are working on something that potentially has such far-reaching consequences on the societies we live in?

And that BS about if you’re not paying, you’re the product and driving engagement and what not. What was TV and TRP ratings ? Was that not “free” and only selling ads and trying to capture your attention ?
1990 to 2010: TV
1950 to 1990: Radio
< 1950: ?
There's always something.
My main gripe with it was the interviewees. It's really easy to make millions and millions of bucks building technology and then turn around and say its bad for society.
2. Users need to choose pay to use services over ads based services.
I was laughing at how they all acted scared for talking like it was some super secret thing going on.
One other let down, no data other than ONE: teenage girl suicide rates going up. Was there no other objective data they could reveal as insiders??
