Probably made a good deal selling the data they harvested off to the highest bidder(s), not to mention the projected revenue from targeting ads at this demographic.

Truly despicable how openly two-faced these megacorps are with this “protect the children!” schlock they’re using to force us to give them even more of our personal information while actively going against the very principles they claim are the reason for such invasive practices.

or changing their product from a one time purchase to a subscription model, I predict there’s gonna be a lot more of that with this new forced app updates change.

-and then continue doing it because that’s chump change to them.

…at least until I get off work ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I assure you the “why” wont be anything constructive, and the “how” will be excruciatingly detailed for my own benefit.

Essentially I treat their pestering as a great way to exercise my creative writing abilities in the form of insults and deranged methods of penetrating their own orifices.

Tbf there’s usually a custom/other option, which can, and should, be used to explain exactly how and why they can go fuck themselves.

“punishing others based off your beliefs”

Lmao, the sense of entitlement from this one…

No, that’s a cat in a toilet.

You can’t fool me OP, I’m on to you!

Well certainly not in this case 🤡

Look here kiddo, when you reach 40 and become a true wizard and get your own tower on your own ley line we’ll talk, but for now you’re living in my tower under my rules!

So you’re just plagiarizing capitalism by acting like a crappy AI but somehow even more incoherent and uninteresting?

It’s no wonder you’re so threatened by a glorified chat bot…

No deal.

No Kida either wth

Oh come now, God doesn’t hate you!

At worst he just cares about you less than everyone else, hate would imply some form of directed animosity, which would be as silly as you or I having enmity towards one specific microbe!

Yes

Well, at least in the context of OPs question “do people on other platforms also see me as a fool?”

Turns out it’s a big old (not in an ageist way, don’t worry OP) “Yes.”

Luckily I’m just a lowly fake gamer so I don’t gotta worry about clout…

Ooh look, shiny skin!
