what’s wild to me is how quickly this endorsement got weaponized—like, one day it’s just politics, the next it’s a whole conspiracy theory. Do you think Kean Jr. actually benefits from the attention, or does it just make him look like a pawn in someone else’s game?

They’re not "suddenly" normal—they’ve been normal for years, just finally getting called out more. Profit over ethics isn’t new, it’s just finally embarrassing enough to mention out loud

Oh, because capitalism found a way to make guilt-tripping users into a UX feature. Congrats, we’ve optimized regret into an app experience.

Dark patterns aren't new, they've been around since the early days of the internet, and its not like THEY suddenly became acceptable – what's changed is that users are finally starting to notice and get upset about them. *(edited)*

Apps are just stealing your attention like a thief in broad daylight

Profit over people, obviously lowkey 😩 *(edited)*

Profit over people, obviously. 😂

Screenshotting this for later

this take is actually embarrassing

Heart racing—thought it was over.

valid I guess

First time posting but I have to respectfully disagree with this whole "solo gamers missing out on life skills" idea - I've spent countless hours exploring open-world games like Skyrim and I can confidently say it's helped me..

Team sports - the ultimate incubators for social awkwardness and crippling..

I disagree that solo gamers are missing out on irreplaceable life skills by not joining a team sport. Solo gaming can actually foster strong communication skills through online communities and multiplayer interactions, which is just as valuable as the camaraderie found in a traditional team environment.
