It reminded me that if you browsed Reddit from Spain many of the ads were literal scams, like the typical fake photo of a celebrity or even the Spanish king recommending you to invest in a very fishy crypto platform.

Spanish users were complaining and reporting these ads for months but last time I checked these ads were still running.

The conclusion is that Reddit didn’t even check who is running the ads and with what purpose as long as they pay them, and of course they don’t give a crap if their users get scammed.

In my country, one of the most successful supermarkets is run by a fascist and he uses part of his fortune to finance our local fascist party, which is gaining strength every year by the way. Do we support fascism by buying in that supermarket? What if we suddenly started to boycott the supermarket to hell?

My point is that they earn profits by using their services and in today’s society money is power. And from where the CEO got his power? From the millions of people with the mindset of “if it benefits me I don’t care”.

Of course that’s not possible, the issue here is being aware and not caring and in some cases supporting it for convenience and selfishness.

That’s the logic of as long as it benefits ME I don’t care and I support them no matter what they do. This same logic has been applied to all the shitty things done in history like slavery, war and so forth, and the reason the world is the way it is.

On a note regarding relationship advice, that’s so fucking true and I was always being downvoted there for pointing that out. I wonder how many relationships got broken because of Reddit’s advice on some of the minor and normal relationship problems that could be solved by talking it out instead of “that’s a red flag just dump them bro”.

slrpnk.net doesn’t require an email, makes it optional in case you want it for password recovery. And as far as I know it doesn’t have the restrictions you mention.

So how many millions after the debunk we have to write down by leaders like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others?

Their marketing strategy isn’t just blaming the consumer, it is to sell that their product is “sustainable and green”, and people instead of not buying, they buy their “sustainable and green” product that shouldn’t even exist in the first place. So no, they are not wasting money on marketing, they just changed the strategy.

Coming back to people, have you tried convince someone to change their preferred message app even knowing that belongs to an evil company and making the change being a literal 5 minute task?

In my experience people aren’t even trying. Just blaming the same way companies and politicians do. If we really tried our best many things would have changed already. I believe that everything we have now is just a mirror of our collective greed, and we are doomed if we expect the other (companies and politicians) to change anything.
