Haha I went through a phase where I made OG stuff and got shit on for it. I got a new perspective getting shit on by meme/content gatekeepers even though they never made jack shit. Like film critics
I meant more like abstract business phrasing that is stuff like ‘aligns with lean principals’ or ‘improve efficiencies through cost driven metrics’ stuff that sounds like a high school essay written by a student adding as much fluff to every sentence and ending up with whole sentences that didn’t need to be said.

I would like to start using RSS feeds but every client I’ve searched up has a subscription method of payment. Are there any RSS clients that don’t do this?
The reason I’m asking is I’m trying to be more aware of supporting that type of stuff online. I don’t want to give money to any companies that put features behind behind ads or subscriptions. The end result will always be squeezing the consumer. So I’d like to avoid it if possible
Ideally for me I’d like to have a one time payment or free with donation option. But subscriptions, even with free tier just contributes to the shit net
I think they’re worse then that though. They attempt to manipulate and influence. Graffiti is just kind of there. Advertising attempts to look like its just there. All so it can actually pull tricks on you. Its a messed up industry.
After all the ad industry is what spawned climate denialism and also spread confusion between cigarettes and cancer among other issues. Issues that we have to be convinced of otherwise we might actually make a better societal choice. Hell The grandfather of modern advertising Edward Bernays leveraged what he know of human nature and sub consciousness to build this industry.
Sure almost all ads are benign individually. But as an industry they’re pretty evil. Hell if it wasn’t for ads, we wouldn’t have lost the internet to the shit show it is today. All the identity stealing, data collection and propaganda machines were spawned because we ignored the growing cancer that is online ads.
When I grew up there was a big push to reject ads and corporate spread. Even sub cultures like punk was focused on rejecting that growing bullshit. Then it all stopped. Like the ads won and now you’re the insane one if you say that advertising is a major issue in society today. Now every kid wants their own sponsorships and some do get it.

I thought I once read that gifted kids were just ahead in ability and what happens is eventually the rest of the kids in their class close that gap and catch up just by maturing. We just mature at different rates. But we all see it like just because a kid understood things earlier like its an advantage for life
