This really explains a lot. Whenever I see all the fan boys for Waymo and Apple (strangely people on this board like apple-vendor-lock-in) - and I think to myself, "who are these people, where is the 'rage against the machine' that typified the software industry pre-facebook"

So strange.

I had this weird epiphany this year - you know the Jan 6th - you know how the republicans refused to impeach Trump. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact they would let someone potentially trying to kill them off the hook.

And then it dawned on me - they were in on it. If they were in on it, everything makes perfect sense. It's the simplest solution.

But it was such a leap for me.

All of the "obviously paid for bot comments" on this site. I always thought - they just slip through - but actually, the simplest solution is that this site is propagating a narrative.

So weird. And so gross. Where did the idealism of the tech industry go? "Don't be evil," they said.
