These kind of campaigns/posts whatever are cute and admirable like “buy physical media” or wanting buttons in your car. But they show a fundamental lack of understanding how weighted everything is towards data now.

Nothing can be permitted to stop the surveillience and dark patterns as we go deeper into monopoly capitialism. It’s the last frontier.

I’m not installng shit. App only features means I’m never supporting your company.

In the same vein, video ads on a gas pump puts a store on my blacklist

I mash buttons until it mutes and then write in “MUTE THIS SHIT” next to it

they disabled the ability to mute at a major chain near me. I stopped driving (that wasn’t the only reason but it was driving me insane)

I have a folder of these things and I hate using them but in a lot of cases you’re over paying if you don’t use their apps or missing out on free shit and honestly every dollar counts in my situation lol

First, there was web browsers which you could use to access most everything on the net. Then came apps. Then people started getting sick of having too many apps and started wanting all-in-one apps
