The most absurd thing about all this bullshit is that all my data is going towards selling me things I don't want or I can't buy. Tech companies have built the world's most sophisticated and complex surveillance system, effectively trapping billions of people into a panopticon and consuming wasteful amounts of resources, technology and human work and talent, all just to sell ads. It's incredibly absurd.

#cosas mias #well this isn't entirely true they don't sell just ads #they also sell aggregated data to companies for marketing campaigns #and of course collaborate with government surveillance and the military industrial complex #but at the end of it the absurdity remains #you're gathering more data that I even knew I had just to sell me ads
