Meta Decides to Cram All Its Sh*t Support Into One Pile and Call It “Streamlining”

So here we bloody go again. Meta — that lovable corporate hydra formerly known as Facebook — has apparently decided that running separate dumpster fires for Facebook and Instagram was too much bloody work. So now they’re merging all their “support” (read: automated copy‑pasted apologies and endless help‑form loops) into one central black hole for you to scream into. Efficiency, they call it. I call it a well‑organized catastrophe.

And because it wouldn’t be a proper Meta move without some shiny AI nonsense, they’re also testing an “AI Support Assistant.” Yeah, because an algorithm pretending to care about your hacked account is totally what everyone was begging for. Picture a smug chatbot that’s been trained on corporate lawyer doublespeak, telling you “We understand your frustration” while simultaneously deleting your page. Progress, apparently.

The AI bot will allegedly help with things like account recovery and policy clarifications (translation: “No, you can’t appeal; piss off”). It’s basically digital Kafka with emojis. Meta swears this will make support faster and more seamless — sure, about as “seamless” as pulling your own teeth with pliers. Somewhere, a boardroom full of execs is high‑fiving because they finally managed to automate customer suffering.

So yeah, Facebook and Instagram users, enjoy your new central “Support Center” — one portal to rule them all, one portal to waste your time, and one portal to drop your sanity into. The only thing missing is a big red button labelled “Abandon Hope All Ye Who Click Here.”

Reminds me of the time a user called me at 3 a.m., whining that their “internet was down.” Turned out they unplugged their damn router to charge their phone. I told them to sacrifice a goat to the Wi‑Fi gods and hung up. Problem solved.
