> I'll never forget the open contempt Meta has shown for me as a user of their products.
Yeah. They're an advertising company. They make money by spamming users with noise. Contempt for other human beings is in their DNA.
They don't want you to disable the red dot. They want it there 24 hours a day bothering you until you give in and watch those ads disguised as videos just to get rid of it and find some peace. They'll actually run human experiments on their users without their informed consent just to find out the exact level of annoyance they'll tolerate without deleting their accounts in disgust.
If you try to disable the red dot, they'll ban you. It's against their terms of service to not be bothered by notifications. You need to submit to this abuse if you want or need to use their services.
You can still try anyway. Make a plugin to delete the dot. Then a few days later you'll find they scrambled the page structure on purpose just so you could no longer interface with it, precisely so you could not defeat their little nagging dot.
"Contempt" doesn't quite do it justice. They delight in our suffering and profit off it.
I would really enjoy a well-researched essay substantiating these points. I've heard bits and pieces consistent with this but when you put it so strongly it boggles the mind a bit. But it's also believable because it makes some sense of why social media is so hellish.
