@Richard_Littler I've done screen sharing with coworkers and gotten screenshots from customers and watched various YouTubers do Internet searches ...... Most of them aren't using an ad blocker. Their brains reflexively close or filter out the noise and they assume that's just the way it has to be.
We here on Mastodon have a sample bias, an echo chamber, a filter bubble, or what have you.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@skeletor Both; both are necessary. You can't build the new without also fighting the old.
I would like to believe it doesn't matter how we got into a mess and only focus on how we fix it, but that "how" will gleefully subvert, sabotage, or resist the fix if it is ignored. Technology that should improve lives is subverted or sequestered. Renewable energy, for example. Preventing that is part of building something new.
This is a common fallacy of libertarian and techbro arguments.
