    The blank stares and annoyed if not downright condescending dismissal I get from normies when I express a preference for avoiding spyware, adware, and other socially acceptable (read: profitable for those who make the rules and own the politicians) malware is some of the worst gaslighting I’ve ever been subjected to!

              I don’t know what I was expecting. Terabytes were probably a little too much to ask for. Here.

      The hyper-normalization and gaslighting continues, and evolves.

      2010: I’m getting commercial ads relevant to my interests.
      - Yeah, right. As if you were so important that anyone would follow you through the entire internet.

      2018: I’m getting commercial ads relevant to my interests.
      - It’s your own fault for not installing an ad blocker.

      2026: I’m getting right-wing political videos in my feed.
      - It’s your own fault for taking an interest in rage porn.
