If you are paying for this shit, you are part of the problem.
Or just tolerating this shit, if you have the "fuck me with ads only" plan.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
checks news for Luigi fallout
I'm not sure even that even sways them. They think it won't happen to them.
Because right now they think he was a lone nut job. It couldn't possibly happen again. We need to prove them wrong.
Man, I'm so mad I want to upvote this, even though I think it's a lot more complicated than that.
It's just a historical fact
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
JFK
Yeah, but just to pick one example, elites are entirely capable of being scared for their lives and being evil. That pretty much describes most historical systems. If you were serious about making change (which, let's be honest, is pretty rare), you'd need a much better, more detailed plan.
Every movement is demonized by the billionaire media, whether or not people agree with it. Consent is effectively manufactured for our government to crush dissent on behalf of their donors.
If you come up with something let me know, but in the mean time we will probably see more vigilanties.

THERE ARE!!!! FOUR ROWS!!!
Underrated Comment here.
- Ditch all paid streaming apps.
- Research how Stremio, Torrentio, and Real-Debrid work together.
- Never pay to see ads ever again.
Exactly, it's really the perfect combination, to be honest. For what? $3 a month? Outrageous?
Or go to one of the streaming websites like 123 movies or whatnot and use an ad blocker. Same experience to an extent.
It's €16 for 6 months of all the content you could ever care to stream, delivered straight to your living room. So yeah, about $2.75/mo USD for 1000x more content than any other streaming platform. Deal of the century.
I should also mention that the addon support for Stremio is huge, allowing you to customize your feed exactly how you like it. A good addon for example is Trakt.tv, which recommendeds content based on your viewing habits. Perfect for people who are too dependent on Netflix/Disney/Max/YouTube/etc. and their algorithms (me).
As the icing on the cake, Stremio also has HDR & Dolby Atmos support. Great for home theater geeks like me.
Except you have to watch out and buy TVs that don't show ads by themselves these days...
To prevent this from happening, you should always check RTINGS first before buying a TV (or any electronics, for that matter). Scroll down to the "Ad-Free" section for the review of the TV you're considering.

All I know is that Lexus Texas (that is what TX means to me) sounds like the name of a porn star. Is that the message Lexus wanted me to take away from their advertising and branding?
Alexis Texas was so goddamn hot. One of the best asses in porn.
ass as big as a punch bowl, and as supple as a jello shot.
🤌
A tank with the maneuverability of a Porsche.
"Our'research has determined that we can fill up to 90% of the visual field with advertisements before inducing seizures!"
Corporations all genuinely want to be that guy so fucking bad, just because they think that if they do become him, they might actually starry to finally feel something... anything. Or they think if they become that guy their father might say "I love you " for the first time or some other sad "this is why I'm a serial killer" shit.
Please drink the verification can
I'm pretty over the whole "4chan dystopian joke becomes real life" thing. Corpo dickheads, you can stop now.
Yo ho yo ho
Why would anyone put up with the attack that is advertising? If it requires you to watch ads, it's not worth it. You wouldn't sit through a free movie if it meant a stranger showing up every few minutes and offering to let you rim them, (it's not that no one wants what their offering, it's that they don't care whether you're interested or not. They're still going to show you their asshole) why would you allow a similar violation of your mind?

I would immediately cancel any service that does that.
I actively avoid advertising. I've cancelled Amazon prime now it has advertising.
I got Sky's Internet TV here in the UK - a supposedly premium service yet the first VOD demand show I streamed I found it had adverts and you had to pay more to be able to fast forward through them. I immediately cancelled.
These companies are greedy as fuck, and driven by the stupidity of always trying to be "growing" to grow their share prices. That just means always trying to save money and take more money from their customers. Enshittification is a result of the stupidity of the stock markets.
