Who Got Next Flex? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by demosthememes to c/[email protected]
 

I had to update the pic; forgot the biggest culprit -Microsoft. They got slapped with a fine of $731 million. I try not to think about this company at all but I had to fix it. The meme gods had to be appeased.
Also, I remember that Nextflix only bent the knee by agreeing to 30% of their content being local, but really tempted to add 'em.
Hopefully the Next Flex will be Netflix - for the meme-ability. Elon won't do it, he would have already done. He is just exercising free speech, nothing more. If he does get in the ring, then I'll join X 😬 & pay his subscription for a year. πŸ‘€

People might actually get some rest. The last few years have been hectic due to social media.
I see your point though. Like how people took to the streets to protest the change of coca cola in '85. One protester went as far as say:

β€œThis makes me angry. I'm angry, and I'm mad. I feel injured. Betrayed. Like a sacred trust has been violated ... People are having anxiety headaches. They've been placed in a distressed state."

... because New Coke didn't taste the same - they had to go back to coke 'classic'. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
