    Your refusal to pay for a browser or a social network is what lead to this. And the people who provide those “free” services will make their money somehow.

      Actually 🤓, what lead to this 👆 being the state of things is corporate greed 🤑. The ‘people’ 🐽🐷 who own those ‘services’ make more money💸💸 than entire states - I belive that’s what the kids call a bruh 😑 moment.

      So, I’ve been thinking 🤔, and I belive I found a solution 👍. It’s so simple 🤩, we just need to do some, let’s call them 🤫😇 ‘budget cuts’ 📉 in the highest positions 🤯🔫

        Yep. Companies don’t enshittify because it’s necessary, they enshittify because they can get away with it.

        If they can put ads in your media even when you’re paying, they will, regardless of whether your payments cover the cost on their own or not.

      oh bullshit. I still have a paid lifetime LJ.

      This war was started by the companies An ad on the sidebar? sure fine, whatever. But then started farming ad streams and letting MALWARE into the fckin thing. So we put up ad blockers. And then they decided it meant we wanted MORE ads. And now it’s full page as everywhere trying to trick you into a false click, it’s ads interrupting content, Doctors hate this one trick! Drink a spoonful of thi s common household item to fart gerbils!! You wanna see a trailer? WATCH THESE FOUR ADS FIRST BEFORE YOU SEE THE AD!! its ads on ads on ads, in a way beyond network television’s wildest dreams.
