  • Meaningless marketing gibberish, utilizing buzzwords + product name in an unholy algebra desperate for your attention and unconcerned whether or not it succeeds.

    After all, how many RC Cola ads do you need to see before you’ll buy RC Cola? How many times does Microsoft need to poke and prod at you before you’ll refer to internet searches as “Bings”?

    And how much longer will we accept this paradigm before we start pushing back, utilizing our own, actually genuine messaging until Microsoft finally finally hears: You are a disreputable company, and you’re making the world a worse place.

    …I tell them constantly, but they don’t listen.














  • Anything that has an intransparent, engagement driving, ad laden algorithm that determines what you do and don’t see is thoroughly unappealing to me. At least now that I’m a little more tech savvy and anti-corporate.

    Hear hear. Under the guise of Engagement, corporations have weaponized algorithms to maximize the time you spend on their platforms, and it’s absolutely been a race to the bottom, prioritizing Outrage above all else. Hard pass, thanks.

    Corporate goals don’t align with that of users like they used to.
