You are making it like they are doing human crime level hitler or some shit

No, the competing solution/alternative its not better

if there are better ways to do this, it would be born already



Which is why shrinkflation always fails right?

In a free market, consumers will pick the better option right? The one where they don't pay more for less?

Right?

That's not how it works in capitalism. If there are more profitable ways to do this, then it would have been adopted. But better is subjective - better for whom? For the users? The businesses don't give a fuck about the users, only about their money.

I mean, yeah, Facebook directly caused a genocide because of their pursuit of ads. Do with that what you will.

But either way, it's like you're pulling every fallacy you can think of out of your ass!

Even if it's not a big deal, that doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything. That's stupid.

And the idea that 'oh well we don't need to think of solutions, because the magical solution fairy would've already done it' is also stupid.

How do you think stuff gets done? Who's doing it? Us! The conversation we're having is that! It's the "born already" you're talking about!
