I'm so over this. So exasperated by it. Every company in a scramble to the bottom. Meanwhile my country's reporting a downturn in FOOD spending because people are fucking poor.
We're being bombarded with ads at every turn, having our data sold off, stolen, or repurposed for LLMs... Meanwhile the customer experience gets worse and worse.
I work in digital ux and honestly, I just want to unplug and go live in a cave.

It's usually a pretty courteous place and I'm sorry if I didn't come across that way myself.
But 99pc of posts here are about something I've never heard of - Linux and program languages, tonnes of jargon and acronyms. I don't jump in and ask what something is and follow up with 'why is this (thing that has no impact on me, as I've just discovered by googling the thing) newsworthy?'
I mean obviously it's newsworthy to me. I thought given how small the place is, that maybe one or two people might respond - people who knew - and everyone else would shrug and scroll past.
You're being very Reddit about it.
Didn't say that's how it always works.
And if you already think that having sex for money is an act of degradation, you're seeing things through a narrow lens.
The rule of the community is you must post before you leave after viewing something. It's obviously not anything policed.
Someone started showing their adherence to this rule by putting the word 'rule' in their post title. People continued this trend, sometimes using a play on words related to the post itself, making crap portmanteaus etc. they're usually not very cryptic.
