It's almost baffling. The only justification I can imagine is that the CEO already reinvested all the money received and couldn't have fulfilled the orders at that time, but it's insane that they wouldn't have actually budgeted for their first orders, and it's wild that the first inclination is to lie about adding features for anyone else's benefit.

In my opinion better help should be top 1, asking people personal questions just to sell them more products with their own private data is just disgusting and cruel to people who are struggling.

[@SSingh-nr8qz]

Yes I agree. The situation at X is still unfolding and when you have a shake up on that scale, it takes years for it to settle. BetterHelp by design is scummy. It targets the most vulnerable of all ages in their most desperate state and data mines them. I have dealt with mental health issues most my life, and the amount of lowlifes that try to scam this community is atrocious and can lead to people harming themselves. Compare that to Elon being an edgelord and some mean tweets, and a bunch of developers that were WAY overpaid for doing nothing compared to other developers in other spaces, you can see why I agree with you.

Ticketmaster has earned top spot on any list, so anyone above them should be really horrible. And this list misses the mark for that.

[@fvez_]

​@@paulm6737I think it's revenue and over company state, Ticketmaster didn't loose money but are getting investigated while Twitter lost half it's worth making it the worst purchase.

[@darkpheonix77]

Betterhelp is worse. Save for the fact that it doesn't have a monopoly so people can just go elsewhere.

[@EricLing64]

I think they weight it as, those are almost just more scam artists as usual. Whereas the BIG companies are supposed to already be reasonably well off, so they just have to NOT do stupid things and they should have been, sort of ok. Admittedly I don't know what the real financial situation of Facebook and Twitter are, or were. I imagine the fact that they make their money based on ads means it's always a weird balance of privacy and intrusiveness, and actually serving relevant ads. I get the impression a lot of the lower quality ads are also straight up scams, if not full on viruses for some of the weirder apps.

[@zalronwow7222]

Ticketmaster is a small company that only makes $16.7 billion per year. Facebook and Twitter would cower to the liberal justice department and would silence anyone the government claimed to be supplying misinformation. Like the Hunter laptop, Russian disinformation, COVID coming from China and more. X does not bend as easily and is attempting to make the platform less restrictive on free speech. @@EricLing64

[@exidy-yt]

I remember seeing those Betterhelp ads, finding them sketchy AF (and subsequently skipping past) and I am happy to find my suspicions validated, but sad for all the people who got screwed over.

[@Jackerlus]

I've also heard countless stories of some of their "therapists" being unqualified or of dubious accreditation. Very dodgy platform.

[@WovenYT]

yeah, its a really fucked up thing to do to pray on the insecurities of people seeking therapy for monetary gain

[@conorstewart2214]

The amount of shady sponsorships you see on KZbin is concerning, a lot of them turn out to be scams or make false claims, especially a group of them from the same broader company including “Established Titles” and “Kamikoto Knives”. Yes KZbinrs just want money but they should do at least a little research into the companies they are sponsored by. The whole “I didn’t know” shouldn’t be a valid excuse, this is something they are promoting to their audience, to get their audience to buy whatever it is, they should have done at least a little research into the companies first. They need to start taking responsibility for the companies they promote. Better help is probably the worst case of this, if it is a scam product then all you lose is money and feel pretty stupid but trusting a site with personal information for them to just lie and sell it is especially scummy.

[@Shades423]

I think the way you convinced people to subscribe is a 10/10, saying that if the person subscribes they are the biggest fail.

[@jasonbaker5430]

To me, BetterHelp preying on people in such a vulnerable state and selling them out to Facebook makes them a worse tech fail in my eyes than your top 3 combined regardless of the loss valuations.

[@LucidPanda811]

I find it absolutely horrible I lost a family member in 2021 and I was suffering from grief for like 2 years and I went to a therapist I’m better now I hope better crumbles to the ground

[@N1DC]

Regarding the while metaverse topic. The meta implementation if social vr apps failed horribly as you mentioned. But third party social vr spaces like vrchat are flourishing. Meta has the current vr hardware monopoly with 60% of all active vr headsets being either quest 2 or quest 3. They are playing the long game and already established themselves as the main consumer vr headset manufacturer

[@TJsVette]

I didn't really use Twitter before he took over and I still don't use it today. I think it's in a deep sleep lol. The cooler idea was a great idea and I'm surprised another company didn't buy it out. As far as the zune/ipod, I never had either cause I used a SD card that I could plug into my Garmin and it would play the music from it. Meta sucks we already knew that was going to be a fail.

[@anyght]

Better Help is TERRIBLE. Not only with this whole selling data thing, but the thing thing as a whole is bad. I want there to be something for people to get better therapy, but there are so many stories of how bad the therapists are who may or may not even be licensed despite the site claiming they are. Im glad to hear someone talking about it and I wish more youtubers would.

One of the most enjoyable KZbin videos I've seen in a while, nice work! As a hardcore VR user it boggles my mind that Meta can waste so much money and come up with such a bad looking product as the metaverse.

[@MJ-92]

Well, not really. They wanted to own everything about it, whilst developing it from scratch, which is basically next to impossible, in the time frame they had in mind. Imagine if Star Citizen needed to develop a game engine from scratch, and implement all of the "never before seen" improvements?! Our great grandchildren would probably be playing the alpha, or in other words, it would take 3 to 5 times as long to get (maybe close) to where it is today.

Yeah it is turning a corner with the q3 and the fact that Apple and samsung are getting into the game I feel like Microsoft will eventually make all there vr stuff in the gamepass app in meta quest and that will also boost it "oh have an Xbox oh now you can connect them" I see it oh and as far as being empty it's like going out to any other social enviorment people aren't always there sometimes there doing other things but going to worlds were there are more random people finding friends and splitting off into direct events always seems to work when there's nothing to do or getting to know 18 plus places in hw and vrc

[@Hydrodictyon]

I stared blindly at a recent Johnny Harris video after realizing that I actually hear an ad for Betterhelp. Like, what the hell dude? Wasn’t even sure if that’s a new one or YT just randomly dropped something out of his old stuff into my feed

[@rogersargent3727]

I loved my 2nd or 3rd gen Zune (whichever the touch screen one was). It had the amazing benefit to not HAVE TO use apple music app for audio files. That's precisely why there was a market for it, for people that weren't one of the sheep in the herd.

[@NatjoOfficial]

For 5 years now, I've predicted that at some point in near future humanity would begin to digitalize their vision with wearable visual PCs. It started with the Vive's passthrough which made me realise it was possible, but the technology simply wasn't in place for it. And since, I've been keeping a close eye on the VR and Mobile spaces, trying to spot the technologies which would make it all possible. When Mark announce Horizon worlds, I knew the technology was not there, even now I think we're still a good decade before we see the renaissance for face-computers. The early technology in the VR-MR-XR space which we're still currently in is still at a "Enthusiast" level, kind of like early pre-late-90s PCs. There simply isn't enough reasons for people to move over. I also think Mark focused too much on the idea of "Immersion" because, honestly, most people don't give a crap about that after a long enough period. Also, the AVP isn't where I think the technology is going either. The AVP does everything I expect well, but it doesn't provide reasons to actually use it over other tech. You can watch an movie using a TV more easily and socially with a TV, you can video call someone more personally on a PC, you can browse the web and play games or work more efficiently on literally anything.

As someone who bought the quest 1, and quest 2, and is about to get the quest 3 I agree with you. Marc isn’t doing anything the vr community wouldn’t be the same if these wonder full game creators didn’t make these fantastic games. This is one of the worst years for vr yet even vr content creators are getting less views. 2020 was the golden age of vr in my opinion.

[@wingsoficarus1139]

The reason why VR was so popular back in 2020 is because of covid. Nowadays, nobody new is getting into it because it seems so niche to most people; the only people really getting a Quest 3 are people that have already been in the VR space for some time.

[@Lil-FIERY]

and it's sad because VR is IMO one of the best ways to experience games. it's what really turns game INTO experiences. while there are some flatscreen games that I really love, such as TOTK and minecraft, nothing compares to the feeling of a great VR game.

[@Evo_Spec]

I actually got those tons of those dash buttons near the end of the cycle when they were on sale for $1 but was still refunded the original $5 so I was getting paid to use them. Then on top of that, they actually have a lithium primary AA cell in them that I would then break out of the dash button. These batteries typically cost like $10+ for a pack of 4. I've since moved countries and houses multiple times and still have some of the lithium batteries I keep for high drain items of valuable items I don't want batteries leaking into.
