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.
Not sure how its predatory other than the streamers being exploited by big boss Bezos. Like consumers gonna consume, I think criticizing leftie streamers for marketing themselves comes across like the "yet you participate in a society" meme. Oh no! People who consistently criticize capitalism in front of thousands of proles who desperately need class consciousness aren't living like ascetic monks. Critical support for streamers like Hasan.
I like having background noise at work and at night. Makes the world feel less lonely imo.
