I'm just going to assume that's the case until someone gives me an actual reason. lol

good lord. that just started out bad and started spiraling into absolute chaos really REALLY fast.
i didn't know the extent. that is fucking hellish.
edit: why the downvotes? am I missing something? I'd appreciate being informed if I'm wrong.
my TV incurred my wrath by having the gall to show me a banner ad while I was in the middle of a game.
so I promptly cut its balls off. (disabled the internet entirely). now it is a dumb TV. and it behaves like a TV. and not an ad machine.
pig st om, dude. pig st om.
that's so scummy. way to get users to shrug and watch it on a pirate site instead. if that was their goal, they've done well!
hell yessss. same. i am having a blast with Inquisition again. I'm very excited for Veilguard. Let's hope they bring back Knight Enchanter. my bursty beloved (yes I know it was nerfed. but i still think its fun)
I'm getting tired, man. these people are truly just the shittiest individuals ever.
i absolutely despise youtube. these fuckers are putting ads on paused videos now, and then this.
they will never get better. only worse. we need regulations badly.
i recommend going in completely blind. the style is great, the routes are compelling and I was surprised by how much i liked it.
...pardon?
you automatically assume I'm some weird corporate drone? you're not exactly making your case very clear and you sound patronizing.
I'm not entirely certain who this rant is for, but i can't imagine anyone who is labeled as a "consumer of the internet and not a citizen" is going to take you seriously.
and for that matter, those with good heads on their shoulders won't either.
Stop blaming random people for the bullshit that corporations do and get away with. you're pointing fingers at the wrong people and it makes your cause look fabricated.
Better tech education would definitely help take some power away from corporations
If you truly believe that, then vilifying more "simple" and less tech-savvy individuals is not the way to do it. Don't be angry that they click on ads. Be angry that they've been poisoned to think that behavior is normal on the internet.
Education is absolutely possible for those new to things like the fediverse. But education doesn't work when you use those labels for people. It widens the gap, it doesn't close it.
because they're using the work of others for their own profits.
