Laid Off From Twitter

I got laid off from Twitter this morning, with no notice. I was the lead software engineer responsible for the feature where your feed shows a thirst trap from a woman you don't follow when your phone detects your girlfriend/spouse looking at the screen. Onto new adventures. UPDATE: just got a job offer from Facebook to work on the feature that shows you memories of your dead pets whenever the front camera detects that you're sad. Thank you all for believing in me. I'm back on my feet!

A fake Twitter post announces that a software engineer was fired from Twitter after creating an absurd feature that displays thirst traps when a partner looks at the phone. The follow-up joke says Facebook hired him to show memories of dead pets when the camera detects sadness, parodying manipulative social-media algorithms and darkly targeted engagement features.
