'We pushed shit on everyone and a bunch of them are using it' never ever ever vindicates pushing shit on people. People use shit that's pushed on them! Do you know how low that bar is?!

I am a vocal defender of the underlying technology, and this is still some bullshit.

    Cigarettes, credit scores, fidget spinners, AI slop on facebook, payday loans!

    They may as well make the same argument about advertisements in general: "we filled Instagram with obnoxious ads and a bunch of them are clicking!"

    Its completely true that not all use is because of being forced to use it though. Lots of people do love using these tools whether for their own amusement or because they find it useful whether we like it or not. He's right.

    Are you responding to someone who said, 'all use is forced?' Because I didn't.

    If you want this in your browser, great, there's these things called extensions. The fact a goddamn LLM is standard, but DownThemAll is barely tolerated, speaks to completely fucked priorities at Mozilla.
