    Google is not a shop. They do want you to click on ads, you are the product after all. They cater to their customers, the advertisers.

    For Amazon, I don’t remember that ever being supported. Even if it was, code needs to be maintained and if people didn’t use it, it doesn’t make sense to keep it. They have metrics for that.

      I don’t think corporations or capitalism work how you think they do, and I have no idea how someone can still think that way this far into the 21st century.

        By not living in the us, maybe? I don’t know, I do just fine. Which my family in a communist country couldn’t say.

          you act like being able to see and know the truth is beneficial. we live in a social structure built on fictions. generally validating those fictions, or doing violence upon reality to maintain them, is much more profitable than dealing with the real world on its own terms. the fictions of power metastasized into an odd cartesian duelism.
