Our fault, collectively, just as it is our fault that the environment is being destroyed, or that third world clothing manufacturers pay peanuts to their employees.

If 'we' wanted to, we would at least work on getting rid of this kind of behaviour. In an alternative world, the equivalent of GreenPeace would parade the C|NET offices, newspapers would write angry editorials about them, harmed users would write them millions of complaint letters, and class action lawsuits would be filed.

Problem is that 'normal' users have been slowly subdued into "it's my fault" mode.

Nobody has time for all that. Humans just don't have the attention bandwidth to solve problems like this. Not in conjunction with everything else going on in the world.
