if they outright forced us to stop day one there’d be outrage, so they instead ease us in. first a popup, then a timed popup, slowly leading to their actual goal but without the risk of an initial outrage. i know this is an extreme comparison but we’re like lambs to a slaughter
Well just look at the youtube sub on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/1792um0/let_that_sink_in_before_you_defend_a_billion/
99% of comments are youtube apologists
Hopefully most of those are bot comments & the mods are probably youtube employees
Looks like astroturfing to me
No offense, but you went to a subreddit that’s likely to have people who enjoy google products and because of that are less likely to be critical even when they don’t agree with the company. Have you looked at the r/technology subreddit posts about this issue? Or r/privacy or any of the other subreddits that might give a better view?
This is like going to the apple subreddit to find out if people are outraged bout the price of iPhones.
I love these types of posts and comments. I get about halfway in to realize I don’t know shit about my fellow human beings and how they’re navigating/viewing the world. This is one hot glittery pony show of a society circling the sewer drain.
