We keep complaining because Big Tech keeps shoving this unmitigated garbage down our collective throats.

When the boot is on the neck, you don't stop complaining until it has been removed. It's as simple as that.

Yes, but you placing your neck under that boot is a free choice. I admit, sometimes a little tricky to avoid, but a free choice still. As far as I know, there is always an option but please correct me if I am wrong.

With that said I think technology overall has become increasingly worse over the years in some ways. God, do I miss a TV without an OS.

Nah its not. You dont have a lot of free choice here, and your options are very severely biased. Its a bit like the old christian thing where you are free to choose, but if you dont choose JC you go to hell...

[sejje]

But you don't go to hell, the consequence isn't real.

So when you bring it back to big tech, you've defeated your own argument.

Bollocks. We're not talking about going to a chat bot and asking questions. That's a free choice. It's insertion into every facet of online life is unavoidable and far more destructive.
