Let’s jump RIGHT back into another corporate owned social media site that will sell everyone’s data, enshittify, go public, and then squeeze everyone to death.

Apparently we’re incapable of learning this lesson.

Don’t worry, guys. After creators eat THIS shit sandwich it’ll stop getting worse and everything will be great.

Look, the individual - one, single, unshielded human mind - constantly bombarded with the cumulative brainwashing tools built of hundreds of years of psychological research, ads and manipulative propaganda being ceaselessly fed to them by organizations with bottomless wallets, and perverse lifestyle incentives driven by law, monopolistic market manipulation, and tax codes, is obviously completely to blame for every decision they make and should bear the full brunt of all responsibility.

Is it beneficial to risk your own job to save your company from its own stupid leadership knowing they’ll learn nothing and do something worse down the line?

Asking legitimately.

Computers still exist and they still have browsers and they still work for your bank’s website.

Even in the browser of an unverified phone.

How about you guys kiss the pimpliest part of my ass instead?

Guys, check it out! I did it! Privacy respecting smartglasses!

Yeah… it sure seems like bubbles just… don’t pop anymore.

Turns out the market can stay irrational FOREVER.

I was like, 5 when it happened, so I’ve never confirmed it, and my mother is definitely the kind of person who would misremember this kind of thing, but from what she claims she called them directly because they dropped the MSRP, not just a store price drop.

Take it with a grain of salt though.

My mother bought me an NES when I was a child, and shortly after Nintendo lowered the price and they voluntarily refunded her the difference.

She told me years later that secured her as a Nintendo customer for my games for life.

This greed is disgusting, but more than anything it’s depressing.
