I was BestBuy services when they bought Geek Squad circa 2004. We went from "keep the customers happy by actually solving their problem so they come back and buy more" to "you're all salespeople so charge every customer $60 just to set the computer down on the counter and push magazine subscriptions"

They must've gone back and forth a couple of times since then.

If you feel the need to eat McDonald's because of what other people think, then you have worse problems.

I've "read my last free article".

Fuck you, Wired

Learning about the world through 500-character snippets, or 30-second videos, is not a serious way to engage with knowledge.

Just don't consume it. Same for blogs.

It's like junk food. It's not going away, so just don't consume it.

I'm hoping this actually leads to less AI slop.

I've clicked off of so many videos after a second or two once I realized they were just AI narrated garbage.

Isn't it already a dangerous place to visit?
