All this.. all this multi billion dollar development, all those 'brains', all the time and space a tech company occupies in it's lifetime... just to force you to watch ads?

What a shitty society and what a shitty communication system we have, just because some morons want to earn some billions more...

There is no endgame when it comes to greed, those pricks will always want more.

I feel it's worse than this. Imagine being the brightest mind in college, have a ton of experience, just to invent new algorithms to get people to click on more ads.

A lot of these people are probably H-1B status workers.
