Marketing is society’s cancer.

When a company has a good product/idea, they grow organically. If I’m looking for something, it should be enough to have information available through manufacturers websites and customer opinions, there is ZERO need to shove ads down people’s throats, which usually translates onto overconsumption and buying the best marketed (not the optimal) product.

So yeah, fuck marketing in general, big corporations greed and their entitlement to control the web.

Aren’t those browser settings and not user settings? I see your point and maybe those should be user settings, but saying that “Firefox on android keeps turning it’s Data Collection options on” is misleading

Really? Turned them off a long time ago, never seen it changing (checked now too just in case)

Felt this many times and you couldn’t have expressed it better. Sometimes I thought “maybe I’m getting old and you tend to idealize how the world was in your younger years” but the current situation with reddit is a clear example of this not being the case.

As a reddit refugee, happy to start becoming a part of the fediverse :)
