The normality of being advertised to. It's kind of extreme how okay we are with someone hijacking our time like that. For free. As long as it's a corporation holding our activities hostage and not like a human being in the room with us.

    And to add to this: building secret profiles of people’s online activities and trading them around and selling them to the government without a warrant

    Like we should be jailing everyone in big tech, all data brokers, and most of the government.

    Banning advertising would be such an improvement. The only way to make a difference would be just to make a good product.

    And the savings would go to the general population, instead of the one that buys the loudest voice
