          Eh, Capitalism will do what it can to turn a profit, which includes things that are good for society. People are fucking dumb and they do not read ToS or EULA, they just sign up for “free” shit and get advertised to while companies track them, spy on them, etc.

          Even when you tell people about their data, they don’t care. I literally have a shirt which reads “they sell your data” by the way, I take it more seriously, and I feel like a fucking nut. I mean, I feel like the only sane person but you know, if every room smells like dog shit check your shoes.

            What reading ToS gonna do? For many people, if they want to find a job they have no option but to network via LinkedIn. You get blocked from many many services just because you use private browsing or a VPN. These services are so well integrated with modern society that you are basically at a huge disadvantage if you don’t use them.

              People say food is too expensive but they don’t buy rice and dried beans in bulk. The food that they eat, that’s easy to get, that they enjoy, is expensive. If it was a real problem they’d be switching to rice and beans.

              Same with “i cant function without the internet raping me i have no choice”. You absolutely have a choice but the truth is, you don’t want it.
