That’s what inevitably happens when you give a mega corp like Google all of that power over you, your life, and your data by simply using their products. Ultimately, they then get to decide who you are and how you act. And it’s in their benefit to shape everything, including you, in their corporate image.
People don’t notice how much they’re getting fucked on an individual basis until the consequences of the actions of millions or billions of people adds up and comes back around in the form of something stupid and obvious like Manifest V3, SEO everywhere, WEI, or the doublespeak “privacy sandbox” comes to bite you in the ass. Enshittification everywhere and even then most people still don’t care.

ive been saying this for 20+ years, and people still don’t fucking listen. fuck, apple users still exist!
also: what about a ‘shadowrun’ campaign gm’d by a severely concussed Kurt Vonnegut as he dies of dysentery at the table?
I would love to hack the local shitty news source and stick a shopping cart on their page…
Nothing more, just subtle criticism to see how long it lasts
