It seems to happen in a lot of areas today. This generation let a lot things erode because of it. I remember people defending the introduction of ads on to the internet.
“Its just a 30 second skippable ad. Stop complaining”,
“so what they collect a little data, they want to gear ads to their audience”,
“Its 4 consecutive 2 min unskippable ads, who cares. Not the end of the world”,
“they built a profile of you that lists everyone you know through social media using the tools and methods they learned from these ad systems. The profile lists all your motivations, wants and needs based off your favorite Mr. Beast shorts that they use to target political ads meant to radicalize you and if not you then your friends, Dada, uncles, moms, sisters. Shut up and drink your athletic greens.”
But isn’t everything tracked and sold now. I used reddit, they have a profile that gets sold. Youtube has my ip. My go to recipe site knows my favorite food. And all that is bought by ad companies how buy our attention from our favorite podcasts and videos who whore us out
A lot of useful idiots do it for free
“Notice me Putin Senpai!”
I have to admit, the number of people who simp for Authoritarians is much higher than I thought it would ever be.
Imagine posting this drivel on the Internet and you’re not even getting any money for making such a fool of yourself in public

Daily reminder that you can opt out of Google’s advertising “personalisation”. They don’t advertise this ability for obvious reasons.
