I don't, which is why I posted my comment as a question.

I can tell you I doubt it since I lost track of how many people (here for example) complain bitterly about the big tech companies and still hold active accounts in all of them seemingly unable to stop giving those companies "they hate" all the power they want

    Sometimes a question is just a question... not a conspiracy theory

    The people whom you're posing the question to (other Lemmy users) aren't in any position to answer the question, and you (should) know that. Therefore, your "question" wasn't asked in good faith and was instead merely a rhetorical tool used to "present false or distorted claims by framing them as questions."

    Yes, this tactic is often used by conspiracy theorists, but they don't have a monopoly on it, as you so clearly demonstrated.

    Since you cannot possibly know what is going on in my head, you are basically just projecting your own intentions here

    Well, it's highly unlikely that any of them are here, so I don't know why you're asking us then.

    Same reason I post anything here, to get some feedback.

    I have no proof and zero reason to think the people that reply to my woodworking questions know more than I do, but that is the leap of faith we all do in social media, no?

    So far, one person replied to me with some good points, others just didn't like my post and threw a tantrum. I try to ignore the tantrums and learn from the good posts to the best of my abilities.
