Oh no! Time to retroactively pretend the thing I liked was always bad.

“Play Candy Crush on the Windows App Store Now!” ad baked into the Lock Screen ffs why

The uwu-fication of animal obesity these past ten years or so has been pretty disturbing to witness.
Tracks as a “cute” way for pet owners to avert feeling guilty/responsible for their animals being dangerously overweight.
“Oh no Mr. Wiggles isn’t obese he’s just a heckin’ chonkerino wholesome chungus” meanwhile the cat wheezes trying to go up and down the stairs.
HP printers: A bad investment in not having your printer break by the 2 year mark
The honey one is just as useless as the honey extension itself, otherwise the YouTube one seems like it would be super op for studying topics en-mass
Reddit feels less genuine for sure, than it would have even as far back as 3 years ago. The mod purge probably accelerated things greatly but in general it’s felt like Reddit was going corporate astroturfing route for a while. Real discussions are very sparse compared to the amount of people telling you “to solve problem, buy this expensive thing!”
At this point the only thing Reddit has is a numbers advantage. The videos are no huge loss because at this point since you’re forced to use their (god awful) mobile app they either autoplay obnoxiously or automatically popup obscuring the comments (discussion is 90% of why I go to a forum why make it harder to see comments?).
The desktop experience is still okay but the constant pushing to get you to enable notifications is very irritating.

Sometimes I get curious about chromium based browsers and consider giving them a shot for a while.
Then Google does shit like this and I keep mainlining Firefox out of spite. Half the reasons people experience “issues” with Firefox are just dumb garbage like this (see sites / web content being developed with Chrome-based in mind)
Wish they would at least be honest in their messaging, the whole “quirky” official reddit branding doesn’t really work anymore now that they’ve gone full corporate mode
Maybe we could reach some kind of middle ground (so permanently lose/gain a half hour instead of a whole hour)?
