    The best thing about Capitalism is that I'm free to choose between five different options, but then the computer recognizes my face and just puts the thing it already knows I'm going to select in big bold letters at the center of the screen.

    The worst thing about Communism is that I would be forced to get the same thing every day.

      Ha I never thought about the Venn diagram of "capitalism is great because of consumer choice" people and "eat the same lunch/by the same car brand/wear the same type of shoes for decades" people

    it would be rad if pricing control algorithms could incentivize purchases based on factors like "there was a surplus in beets this season" or "there is a shortage of horse meat" or "this purchase supports environmental destruction and genocide" but no we're only getting the dystopian profit maximization and hyper individualized price discrimination.

    Look, taco bell might as well have just 3 things on the menu, and if this gets rid of the clutter then I'm all for it

    some blockers can counteract each other, be sure to check before installing multiple blockers.

      UBlock, Privacy Badger, and Decentraleyes all do different things, though, so in this case there is no reason why you can't have all running at the same time.

        it can be argued privacy badger is redundant with ublock (i have been running it for ages and it only grabbed 1 thing) but yeah
