Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one. This post is an overflow from the original post here. Feel free to either carry over threads from there or create entirely new ones.

You know, I want to say you're being too cynical.

But it would make sense if it came down to something that simple, sadly.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Really, the only reason I can see to doubt it is that they wouldn't be making any money off of us until then.

[strongestheart]

They could always be hoping on word of mouth, but that sure doesn't seem like how things are going here... at the least, the buzz wouldn't be super positive...!

[oceanicbutterfly]

Well, it *is* a beta. Maybe their *real* plan is to have ads, and they just aren't in yet.

[strongestheart]

Their beta also has a bunch of people freaking out! That seems like bad business sense.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I didn't say it was a *good* plan.

[strongestheart]

WELL THEN, THEY NEED A BETTER PLAN.

That doesn't hijack my data.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Maybe they'll read this and agree.

Or maybe they'll read this and say "why is she complaining? there's no way anyone could dislike this!"

[strongestheart]

i really wish that second one wasn't super likely nowadays

[oceanicbutterfly]

"Obviously everyone wants everyone else to know everything about them!"

[strongestheart]

That said if several thousand messages haven't already convinced them this is a bad thing and to fix it, then I'm pretty sure they're not catching the hint.

[oceanicbutterfly]

True. Never underestimate the ability of a company to ignore feedback.

[strongestheart]

Or finding ways to bend over backwards to spin it positively.
