As a defense attorney I would've immediately declared my client mentally disabled and listed the search history as proof.

Fun fact, Chase Infinity who plays Leos daughter in the movie is turning 26 in Mai and is therefore undatable for Leo. He'll soon have to resort to dating actresses that would be his on screen grandkids. Nonetheless in Hollywood he's considered someone who likes them old.

Actors were waiting for instructions from their PR team on how to react.

She looks like she'd force children to give up their puppies so she can put them in the puppy crushing machine as the sound of their little snapping bones is the only thing that helps with her headaches.

Weirdest thing about this is that it would actually be comforting to me if there was a villain executing an elaborate plan. Instead it's just greed that drives it. You put a regular joe through business school, give em a CEO position with shareholders breathing down their neck and they'll start pushing shit down their customers throats in no time.

Gambling ads go brrrrrr.

A good third of the population simply don't have the cognitive capabilities to understand these things and if they're not protected by regulation they'll always fall for some form of scam.

They have achieved higher productivity by not using teams themselves.

Boomers at least had a reason to go through this development because they were still able to accumulate some wealth. With a good job in the 80s-90s it was possible to invest into assets that have by now exploded in value. That does make some people more inclined to hold on to the status quo.

Anyone after Gen x on the other hand has little reason to hold on to a system that keeps screwing them over.

 

Most grocery stores in my country have established an App (or card) you're supposed to use and it's slowly but surely going down the route of enshitification.

They start by letting you collect points. Then it's extra savings. Eg regular price is 3€, sale price is 1.80€ but app users get it for 1.50€. Cool, a way to save some money, you might think. Nope. Once they reach a critical mass of app users it continues to sales being App-only so everyone is now forced to use the App but there's no bonus left. Two of the biggest chains are at this stage. You now have the regular price (3€) and the app price (1.80€) which is the exact situation as before the app existed but they force you to jump through some extra hoops to get it.

Additionally to that they collect all this data with the sole purpose of manipulating you into spending more money at their store than you did before. They extract their profits from their customers and if we help them get more efficient at that it'll be us that lose out.

Tl;dr: Fuck store apps.
