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.

        If you gave $5 to a small streamer, that's fine I guess, you could legitimately make a connection with that person.

        Otherwise, that dude does not give a shit about you and you wasted your money.

        But I don't want to be cold about it either, do what you want.
