Four panel Oatmeal cartoon titled “Reaching people on the internet“ Panel #1 Titled “How it used to be:“ Guy pointing to his “Matt's website“ “house“ saying to a crowd “Come on over! I've got some neat stuff here. Pane #2 Titled “What happened:" Huge skyscraper Facebook building nextdoor to his little house. The Facebook building has a digital billboard over the door that reads “Welcome new active users!“ The same guy saying to the crowd, “Actually, follow me over there. It'll be easier for us to reach each other.“ Panel #3 Titled “Where we're at now“ Facebook building's sign now reads “Door locks ENGAGED.“ The guy pointing at his house shouting to the Facebook building, “Hey. I made some new stuff. Can you show it to my followers?“ Panel #4 Sign on Facebook building now reads “PROMOTION! Boost this post for $10,000 and reach a fraction of your followers!" The guy now exclaims, “Fuck.“

Yep. Same game with different players nowadays, but the old ones are still kicking around doing their usual shenanigans :)

I still remember when the idea of "liking" a brand was so cool because I thought "this way I can find friends who have a similar taste". Now they trap the users using their own content, and get paid to host them.
