It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.

It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.

I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.

When you engage with the system of capitalism, it influences you and aligns you toward its goals.

Not a lefty obviously, but that recent Mr. Beast interview shows a man who has been subsumed by the algorithm and turned into an avatar of Mammon. vegan-seitan

Everyone is subject to this same force, to one degree or another.
