  • Yup. What’s fascinating is that when actual people were the ones developing and using the Internet to communicate(as opposed to companies and nation states), the community organically came up with methods of preventing this type of thing. NSFW, NSFW, GORE, spoiler tags, etc. and real people, by and large would voluntarily abide by these guidelines, because they understood that invoking PTSD in strangers is a horrible thing to do.

    But when corporations got to the point that they didn’t need to listen to customers, just show and tell them what they should think, those rules of civility went away.

    The problem was never your friends, neighbors, or countrymen. It’s that standards and practices based off collective and shared ideals, that have been established for centuries got pushed to the way side so some sleazy little cock weasels could monetize you to the point where you’re no longer a human, just an asset.
