companies even attempting to have a voice in my life piss me off... that's not even starting with ai. I don't care what any company thinks or says, I assume it's a lie and their products are nothing but useless garbage designed to fail in hopes of getting me to Huy some more crap or subscribe to even more useless crap.

Limbic capitalism. The product will make you happy! Do not ask how.

Often reduced to an intuition pump, because if they don't explicitly state why their bullshit is good, they never have to justify it. Someone clicks Order Now and immediately has an immodest orgasm. It communicates absolutely nothing to your rational mind. So there's nothing to defend. Somehow, naked emotional manipulation is completely unprotected.
