The end user is seen as nothing but an exploitable resource. If a few thousand nerds don’t like it, they don’t give a shit. Until the general public wakes up to the shitfuckery, nothing will change. Just ask your mom, what she thinks about Microsoft’s data collection.

They think line won’t go up if they don’t shove it down every user’s throat. They’ve put most of their eggs in that basket.

Because it allows them to collect and process more data, which can be used or sold, increasing their profits.

To be fair it’s not just Microsoft doing that. I was looking at gym equipment the other day and some idiots were trying to sell a fucking home gym with AI. Everyone wants to sell it, nobody wants to buy it.
