Because I’ve talked to people who say things like that and it just makes me lose my faith in humanity a little 
But I have to remind myself that this tagline is some western Marxist (or maybe socdem?) verbal diarrhea and isn’t common among the people who matter
You can block the taglines in uBlock. I did that months ago, can’t stand the irony poisoned bs and the ragebait and the snark. Same reason why i blocked comms like fakenews, badposting, slop and chisme and only browse by local. You do not have to expose yourself to stuff that causes you psychic damage like some marketplace of idea liberal. The internet is only usable without lasting mental damage if you curate it at least somewhat.
Thanks for sharing the tip about uBlock. The taglines don’t bother me that much, but I agree with your point that we should feel empowered to control our experience online.
I have similar thoughts about interaction at the device level. Modern operating systems use a push philosophy when presenting information to the user. This manifests as feed algorithms, spontaneous system notifications, app badges, and so on. But it is mentally healthier if your device works according to a pull philosophy, in which information is exposed only when you ask for it. That way you aren’t bombarded with more than you can handle. This can be further improved by reducing, as much as possible, all attention-grabby “features” like oversaturated colors and overstimulating animations. Maybe I’ll compile these ideas and post it.
Fully agree. I recently switched from youtube to freetube originally as part of my general degoogling plans, but i have noticed that not being sucked into endless streams of algorithmically sorted shorts has saved me a ton of time i could spend on other things, be they productive or be they more conscious and deliberate media consumption.
you were watching shorts?
I only watch shorts at work. Butterfly meme: “Is this praxis?”
But its the best comm???
it’s pure poop
Yes. Which is why it’s good.
