    “Conspiracy theory is sure are a lot more fun to wallow in”. Did you miss the recent youtube adblock shenanigans? Do you think google is your friend? Are you aware discord is google adservices integrated? Are you under the impression google wouldn’t do something like this to leverage more data from people using one of their sites? Are you unfamiliar with the recent and upcoming OTHER changes to make chrome less friendly? Do you know about google AMP? You’re defending a corporation and not an individual here, really take time to consider what you’re calling conspiracy theory is (the plural is theories)

      A company doing shitty things does not mean everything you don’t like that comes out of them is some mustache twirling villain plot. You should spend more time in the real world and less time in the Lemmy/Reddit echo chamber.

        I hardly use social media. Maybe you should get a broader scope on the topic you’re arguing - there’s no moustache twirling going on, just the exact same corporate competition and data harvesting that HAS BEEN going on for decades now. Your take is “NUH UH”.

          I feel compelled to come back to this thread and eat my crow.

          Thank you for doing this. If more people owned up to their mistakes and corrected them, things would be a lot better.
