As if most Hollywood blockbusters couldn’t get soulless enough.

Quite possibly the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever seen.

I wish!

Yeah. Just to clarify, I didn’t mean to try to validate conspiracy theories like these and wasn’t suggesting that this guy is right, but that it’s wrong to ignore the large amount of data that closed source applications oftentimes do collect on you.

I mean they can watch and monitor your activity on their website, and are probably partnered with many other websites to collate data on your interests and beliefs to feed into a chunky advertising algorithm sooooo…

But you didn’t want to hear that, did you?

For some people, all semblance of rationality and respect for others disappears once they realise they’re anonymous and behind a screen, causing topics with nuance and complexity which deserve to be debated and discussed properly, to be reduced into morally black and white issues. Instead of making any logical arguments, groups of people will just say “If you disagree, you suck” and so it spirals.

Aside from the pay in this case (which is obviously unacceptable) content moderation is just a terrible job in general, because with people being people, horrible stuff will always inevitably be uploaded to the internet. This is one job where I think it would actually be good to have AI take over when it reaches that point.

I hope I’m not alone in finding it utterly ridiculous that a company can literally hold rights over a single letter.
