If you deliberately buy a bargain brand Chinese television, you earned the consequences of that decision.

- OkayPhysicist 7mo agoWhen did we start calling things "residential proxies" as opposed to "botnets"? I feel like the latter term, while perhaps not as descriptive, has a much better "this is evil" message.

Their customers don't deserve bad things to happen to them. And the Anti-Chinese sentiment is especially weird in the context of advertising, as though the West was spared from intrusive ads prior to this.
