Why should people stop telling other people what they should do in 2024...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Problem is that the whole concept of advertising is "telling other people what to do".

People use Google.
Google tells people to use Chrome
Chrome becomes most popular browser
Chrome removes the " this site has RSS" icon from URL bar
People forget that RSS is a thing
People now rely on Google News and other biased sites to get information
biased sites tell people what to do

RSS is freedom
go tell other people to use it
also Lemmy RSS community

I'm not going to tell anyone what they should do, sorry. And every site is biased, no matter what.
