@abucci@anthony.buc.ci well, I remember Reader’s Digest throwing whole catalogues to my Grandpa along with the magazines he had already paid for.
They had his address and credit card info with promotions like “only send this message and you’ll receive the next book”.
And for Flashing videos, we could go to Public TV broadcasting.

But I get your point, and I add. “If the ‘product’ is free, you are the product”. And those companies are trying to productize you. Manifest V3 is a clear example of the Status quo, disguised as “for your convenience”.

The real point is not being part of that “Society of complaining” but being key to actually change what bothers us.
