That's the point. They want people to use devices where information is given to them, but they can't interact with it or give something back.

They literally want us scrolling tiktok all day before it's time to get ready for work.

The #1 thing they provide is exposure.

The vast majority of users simply won't download and install something they find on a website on their phones.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Fuck advertising, but that's a brilliant idea.

I think my PS3 still works, although I haven't used it in awhile.

Because you already have an answer. You said "not all of them want to be saved." I said "what about the ones who do want to be saved?" And now you're like "what does saving mean?"

Dude, just go with what you thought it meant in your first reply! Lol.

If you can't do that, then you admit you're a troll. It really is that simple.

Downloading entire seasons of shows? Yes you do, especially if you want to watch whatever you want whenever you want like with free streaming sites. I also mentioned managing storage, not just having it. Many users of paid streaming services have never interacted with a file manager.

You need to keep the layman's perspective in mind if you want to appeal to them.

It's great in our digital age where most things are accessible for free.

If you have expensive hobbies, then there's not really a way around that.

Absolutely. The problem with torrenting is that it is less-accessible to laymen.

They need a VPN to torrent safely, which immediately cuts out most of them. They also need storage, which many of them do not know how to manage.

Maybe you should go live there yourself if you like it so much

lol

And plenty of people think it's okay when the US does it.

What's your point?

No.

The vast majority of first-worlders complaining about not having enough money already have more than people whose needs are not being met.

The problem is that they think they should get more before others who have less. It's an issue that exists all the way to the top, which is why it's hypocritical to call out billionaires while not looking at our own contributions to the problem.

You don't need supporting data to understand businesses will do whatever will maximize profit.

This intrinsically means charging the most while providing the least.

Very few cultures are able to pass the United States.

Most of them just follow behind, like businesses copying Apple.

When people stop conflating needs with wants.

I just stopped buying stuff unless I absolutely need it.

Don't forget everyone else who just believe brown people need to solve their own problems.

Social contract is unraveling.

Civil disobedience is the short-term solution.

Revolution is the long-term one.

I mean, fuck all corporations if we're judging them based on how they maximize profit.
