> It corrupts and twists everything it touches into a constant hustle for eyeball-cash
This cannot be overstated. Everything today is a battle for eye-balls and ad money. The corruption is insane. You can't even buy appliances designed perform their function well. Instead you can buy cheap junk for less than cogs because they make money selling your data to ad companies instead of making money by making products that are actually good.
The concept of "value" for consumers has been completely twisted and I am not looking forward to seeing where this race to the bottom will end up.
