I don’t argue or “debate” online. Most online back-and-forth feels pointless and often intentionally inflammatory or in bad faith. I read all the replies I receive, but I rarely respond.

      I genuinely can’t figure out why there are so many people who are happy to let adverts fill their day. Or at the very least, don’t really notice it.

      I had a shit fit today because I worked out that the Lidl app won’t let me use its payment system if I turn off notifications, which I did because Herr Lidl dared to send me an advert for whatever shit he’s selling this week - as a fucking notification! That’s one advert. I got the hump over one advert.

      But there are vast swathes of people who just don’t seem to care how clogged their browsing experience is.

      Goddamned right. There were several years when I’d let it go, because Netflix and the like were providing a good, fairly priced service. When they finally gave me the fuck you, I cancelled it on my 10th anniversary as a customer, along with every other streaming service. Took me a minute to get back in the swing, but the salty sea air is so nice again.
