Oh you’re right lol I edited that comment like three times because it didn’t seem right. The asterisk is def the original kissy face

I thought the kissy face was ;^v back in the net two days

But this scene was set by capitalism. The family friendly, market friendly internet is the basis for this entire issue. Yeah, government is the one finally pulling the trigger on sanctioned, total control, but we’ve been surveilled and profiled and censored for decades at this point by countless corporations for ad dollars. We’ve gone through the cycles of outrage and acquiescence and outrage and acquiescence as things have gotten worse and worse—same goes for the quality of politician, all bought and paid for by telecom companies neutering everything we can do to make the market and internet more favorable while the politicians got worse and worse and we began accepting it and just laughing it off.

And here we are. Don’t be fooled, this is 100% at the feet of capitalism.

I gotta be honest I thought I’d never be able to quit Reddit. But it was a lot easier when I just did it. If this shit becomes the norm, I’ll back out of a site first time they try that shit and block the site. Maybe I’ll just have to stop using the internet. Wouldn’t that be a net positive on my life. You made me do this, capitalism.

This is definitely the way I feel. Even if I really want to do something, if I find out they’re doing this to squeeze me or they’re putting some wild shit in the privacy policy, I just don’t engage with their shit. Fuck those companies. I’m more angry with capitalism than I am susceptible to the desire they try to garner

I don’t understand why people needed to give them constant money. For real, I played for a minute but never spent a dime. Why buy things when you can achieve them?

Should we be surprised? Thinking AI, the most data hungry undertaking in existence, was not storing the data from what you write? Especially when the companies behind it are the most invasive in history? Lol what else
