The Internet has changed the world and just ignoring it won't change it back. We won't be able to completely evade the tiresome phenomena you mention, either on the web or irl. I still have a faint hope we might be able to carve out a niche where we can use the web without falling prey to these things more than absolutely unavoidable. However, the masses have spoken and it seems glaringly obvious that they don't give a rodent's backside.
- PavlovsCat 8y agoThe masses have done no such thing though, if you really think about it. New people get born every day, they still get to speak. People can change their minds, they still get to speak. And it's not like we're talking about informed decisions by people making free choices, there's all sorts of pushiness. The war on general computing isn't waged by the average person, they're the victim of it.
