Yea. There should be no exceptions. Subscription, MTX and F2P games are the biggest offenders and the type of games that started this movement in the first place.

Of course they are stupid and they might always be stupid, but they can still vote, so we should try to keep them voting progressively instead of just telling them to fuck off and leaving them to vote for fascism again. I'm not saying to have empathy for them, as you said, they voted for a child rapist. Just get their vote, it's what we need. This doesn't just apply to the USA, but all over the world where fascism is now creeping in.

You dont have to flip to the other extreme. Nobody is saying to praise these people, just don't shun them. Perhaps they already voted out of spite, maybe they will again.

It's in our best interest to have them away from the fascist cesspool, even if I don't give much of a shit about them personally, for what they previously had a hand in.

Also, you dont know what people might see or read that changes their mind on something. Not sharing it at all is only negative. If someone who is deluded keeps seeing posts about it, maybe they will wonder why. Just scroll past it if it bothers you.

People consume media that is constantly lying to them, they are surrounded by people being fed the same lies, creating a feedback loop that suppresses any opposition. It's even worse these days with social media and algorithms, they just constantly get fed the lies, the propaganda.

At least these people came around eventually. Lots of people dont think politics matters that much until it severely affects them. So its going to take that kick in the mouth, unfortunately. Even if they are still selfish in their change, at least it will help the masses.

Saying "I told you so" doesnt really help, people like this were truly misguided and deluded.

The apps are not much better these days.

Web apps ruined UX though, at least with apps (historically anyway) you would get some consistent UI. There were design guidelines developers could follow. Same for programs on PCs.

Then PWAs came along and ruined UI/UX. Do UX designers even exist anymore?

Sigh. But trading good UI for tracking and data collection, is indeed, not worth it.

It's not just new generations, these are basic marketing strategies that have existed forever. It's manipulative, people see a smaller number and think it's better, without even considering the value for a moment. Preying on the spur of the moment decision.

Nah, youre just being dense. Point was obvious enough and there was no direct blaming, just a general statement.
