I’m mostly just frustrated that humanity agrees that our attention is something to be wrested away from us constantly.
Cannot deal with this bombardment of advertising.
No. The rich oligarchs are coercing the working class into accepting their oppressive attention economy.
Don't let them trick you into believing their bullshit.
Everywhere I look, even on the internet, I see people saying “the ads make it possible for me to watch this,” and it’s a phrase that I hate.
The rich oligarchs have propagandized everyone into accepting the oppressive attention economy. It’s already over, it happened.
Of course, I have the attention economy of North Korea minus Eritrea, divided by the entire EU: completely and absolutely broke, no attention anywhere, certainly none in the attention budget.
Obedience isn't the same as acceptance though. Systems of oppression would not be such if the majority of people could ignore them.
Yes it's happening, but we still have the power to stop it.
My apologies. I didn’t intend for my words to compete with yours.
I’ll go downvote my comments.
Bruh I feel where you're coming from! If anything talking to you has reminded me that we need to speak up!
It’s not just that. Being assaulted with multiple scam calls and messages every single day is horrible for our psyche.
I just don't ever answer my phone anymore.
It's almost always a scam
I have to for my business :/
I use an app called silence which only allows calls from numbers in my address-book. It's been a life-saver
I mostly watch YT on my TV but through Smart Tube. Watch all my other stuff with Streamio.
Every now and then the YouTube app is mistakingly opened and my lounge room is invaded by a company trying to align with me to buy a thing. It's very cringe and intrusive. Back in the old days with commercial breaks on TV, you would just mute and go have a break. But this is different and I don't know how people do it. Blockers are a must for security and sanity.
