The problem I have is normalization.
People complained about micro-monetization in video games, but that was normalized.
People complained about corporate interest in open source, but that's normalized.
Now people are complaining about your operating system advertising to you against your will, it will be normal soon.
I have a standing theory that once a person is no longer concerned about their welfare or the welfare of their descendants, they go crazy.
Like, once you reach a point where survival is no longer a problem, that part of your brain goes nuts. It's not a flawless theory, since philanthropy is a thing and people like Dean Kamen exist, but it's a thing that seems to happen an awful lot.
