Is time for a change:
- normies to stop being normies and start to learn to use properly a computer
- those media houses to find other ways to scam normies
I am tired of having to upgrade every few years the computer because X and Y brainless guy from marketing wants more ads, cookies and all kind of bullshit on company's website.
I worked 25+ years in IT consultancy and support, I saw the internet growing from zero to what it is today, watching all its phases. And nowadays is insane too much garbage.
I know very well why am I blaming normies and I make fun of them: because they are fucking stupid.
Change is happening though see the insane demand for ad blockers, filters, antivirus, VPNs, and browsers like Brave and Firefox. With time, as I said his feedback loop will repeat and more and more people, even if they don't know much about how stuff is working, will come out of their Plato's cave.
And nowadays is insane too much garbage.
I also don't support the websites like @SimpleStacker said that cover 90% of the screen. For once, try to see from the POV that focuses on showing adverts but in a non distracting way that's user-friendly. Like if you think this topic needs some attention, read the views from haveibeenpwned.com founder Troy: Ad blockers are part of the problem
Maybe an economist can tell us better if the web will improve or will become more garbage if people use blockers, filters, etc. to stop ads, trackers, and more. I believe a friendly balance is needed.
