“Op didn’t say social media companies today are like tobacco companies today”
yeah they did.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The current tobacco companies are no longer any more evil than any other business is my point. It’s a bad comparison for a modern day Social Media company, especially since so little of the population today was around for when Tobacco companies were at there worst.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The evil tobacco company is an outdated narrative, they were already regulated to hell 22 years ago when I started smoking and since then I’ve only ever seen the regulations increase now with the new apparent goal of outlawing nicotine, because I can only speculate that people think this time we’re going to get prohibition right.
btw I quit smoking 7 years ago, and nicotine altogether 5 years ago.

- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 3 months ago:
“Amazon bought Barnes&Noble ages ago;”
I think you’re thinking of Borders, Barnes & Noble’s long bankrupt competitor. Barnes & Noble got bought by a private buyer from the UK a few years ago when they started circling the drain. I wouldn’t recommend the Nook ereading platform, though. I’ve had three of the products since they first launched, and they are buggy. -Add to that the supporting the ereading platform has never been a high priority especially when the company was struggling, and their free ebook selection went from low-quality, low-selection to nonexistant.
Long story short I’ve been considering a Kobo ereader as my next ereader over another nook product for a while now.

Yes. I have one family member with an amazon affiliated credit card and when it’s combined with prime… Anyways, multiple family members use that account to make orders from. This includes ordering cases of softdrinks ever 2-3 weeks.

- Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 3 months ago:
I’ve have had this thought too and the only reason I can think of is that the inkjet printers are sold at such a rediculous loss, that anything that could be sold next to them without the offset price from ink would seem like a bad joke.
