I only have cynical takes these days. Tech has been completely taken over by charlatans, scam artists, grifters, and snake oil salesmen. I have zero tolerance for suspending disbelief. They can force me to believe with data, or they're deliberately lying. No middle ground.

Just keep in mind cynicism is a form of self deception.

You aren't punishing them, just hurting yourself. They actually dont care what you think.

..I don't care whether they care what I think. And I'm not trying to punish them? TBH I have no idea what you're trying to say. I don't think I'm "deceiving" myself.. Instead I think I'm on the right end of this. Tech companies are lying these days like it's literally their job. Saying so isn't "deceptive" it's literally just pointing out the obvious.
