So uh. Google. We need to talk. None of us likes this. Nobody likes this. We don’t want cheaper and more ads. We don’t like ads. We especially don’t like your firehose force-feeding of ads to us. Your argument here is “it’s good because it helps us make money”. We do not care that it’s your business model, because your business model is objectively annoying and harmful to society.
I swear, the rich are truly buying their own bullshit at this point. They seem to genuinely think that the peasants enjoy being fucked as hard as absolutely possible. They have made these arguments repeatedly about many horrible practices they do.
Finance leaders try to claim that frontrunning users purchases and banking the difference, is somehow beneficial to the customer.
They are all fucking deranged.
