I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.
This is correct.
The best description of the dating app scene I've ever heard was "turning first dates into a series of job interview-like experiences", which is one of the most horrific things I've ever heard in my life. I already avoided dating apps and websites because I'm intensely paranoid about putting intimate, detailed, and accurate personal identifying information on the internet. Hearing that turned me off from cautiously venturing into the scene entirely.
