8 months agoYes, agreed. We shouldn’t have to pay extra to have products not be annoying the fuck out of us. On principle, I wouldn’t pay them for it, but I want it all gone so badly–ai assistants, ads for shows and music, all of it. Fuck them for making our experiences shitty for their profit.



I minimize plastics use, recycle anything that can be, reuse/renew whenever possible, minimize all use of products dangerous to the environment/ecosystems, educate myself on the issues and candidates and then vote in every election, volunteer for political campaigns, I educate my children about the environment (including what we do to minimize our impact and why it’s a problem at all) and politics (including the importance of voting, how to research candidates and issues). Yes, there is more I could do, but I think I do a pretty good amount–far above the average. My kids won’t blame me, even if the memes blame my generation.
I wouldn’t go out of my way to make older generations feel bad because that isn’t solving anything, but I would educate them so that maybe their votes will be better going forward.
