roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops
it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you
@lifning I really like it!
'POEM' - Bravo 👏🏽
@lifning most popular toot I've ever seen!
@lifning RIP your notifications
@Concerned_Catgirl omg it takes so many paginated REST calls to populate the column at all if i filter to only show replies. halp.

@lifning
Thanks god there's no surveillance in non-capitalist regimes.
@BanjoFox Listen to how much YOU,
THE CONSUMER,
love Dr. Tran!
@csaurus You'll be sure to "love" these great deals on romance novels!
Las rosas son rojas
Las violetas, azules
En el capitalismo de la vigilancia
El poema te lee a ti
Y te muestra anuncios
De floristerías
Y apunta tus clicks
Y nunca descansa
No se preocupa
Si daña tu privacidad
El dinero es verde
Cuando se cosecha gente
Twitter es cián
Facebook es azul
Tus amigos son el producto
Y también lo eres tú
!privacidad
@lifning exceptional!
@lifning This is the best spoopween poem <3
@lifning Beatiful, just truly beautifull. Thanks.
just beautiful. Shared widely!
@unsafelyhotboots you'd be lucky number 300 😮 i wasn't expecting it to make waves at all, let alone take off like this!
@lifning My friends all thought it was both disturbing and very clever. That was inspired.
@lifning This is beautiful.
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
brother so can you
I'm the Scatman
@clacke
why should we be pleasing
the politician heathens
who would try to change the seasons
if they could
the state of the condition
insults my intuitions
and it only makes me crazy
and a heart like wood
everybody stutters
one way or the other
so check out my message to you
as matter of fact
don't let nothing hold you back
it's snowing on Mt. Fuji
@lifning That is so brilliant!
@lifning I’ve never seem something get as many boosts and favorites as this did. Nice to see it around again.
@theycallmemo yeah, i guess there's some new eyes on it since the recent wave of new users.. this was literally a one-off thought i had when i was half-asleep and i didn't expect it to grow wheels like it did!
@lifning this is actually so nice
I really don't want to like this as much as I do. Too spot on.
a rosa é vermelha
a violeta é azul
no capitalismo de vigilância
o poema é quem lê tu
e a ti exibe anúncios
para floriculturas
e rastreia teus cliques
sem decência alguma
a ele não importa
a privacidade violada
o dinheiro é verde
quando gente é arada
o twitter é ciano
o facebook é azul
teus amigos o produto
assim como tu
how am I still occasionally getting boosts on this poem almost a year later lol dang
@lifning Because capitalism never sleeps, so we can’t either.
@lifning
I'm not :)
*pats roof of poem* this baby can fit so many florps in it
ｎｉｎｅ ｈｕｎｄｒｅｄ ｆｌｏｒｐｓ 
it's like having 1,296 HUGE file cabinets!!
@lifning Thanks, that's a very nice poem!
when we are gone,
the corporate-owned neural networks trained on our social media posts,
to advertise to us, to surveill us,
will be the most complete backup of our personalities available,
despite being worn down and filtered for those purposes,
and relegated to cold, inexpensive storage in backups,
being that we won't be viewing ads again any time soon to pay the rent.

@lifning oh god don't let Charlie Brooker see this toot
