Also, the shocking amount of people putting out Clickbait trash instead of news and wanting you to subscribe with your email address before you can read it.

Patriots.win is turning into a cesspool

Conpro was the least redditized sub over there, but it's been a week or more since I last bothered.

While all "free speech" sites are filled with autists and retards, conpro seems like it has an over-abundance of them. I still like going there to see the posts. The comments just confuse me a lot. Maybe because boomer.

Reselling your data is the new hotness. Same reason every business now needs an app. I was at the Play Store yesterday. One of the 'Dollar' stores had an app.

A reddit quip repeated ad nauseum for a while that is actually true: "If you don't have to pay anything, you are the product."

Membership/Subscription=hope that consooomer doesn’t use whatever they’re paying for that month and the company still gets paid.

It is also the long game, they might lose money for the first month or so ("getting my car washed every day!!") and then turn a profit, then pure profit.

Everything is becoming a subscription. It's been a plan for like 2 decades. To truly not own anything.

At least you will be happy.

lazy and dumb people subscribe to conveniences they don't even make use of.
