Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)Happy people can't be monetized, this is why billionaires and tech companies need to keep you unhappy, angry, or scared. Resist. Be happy.

Matt@grumpygamer @Archie8 Makes sense, my wife and I are pretty contempt as long as we have something to read, write, or draw on in our spare time. We learned to derive happiness from ourselves over the years and spend almost no money beyond necessities. Advertising just looks like propaganda to me
Archie@psychxr @grumpygamer I view all advertising as one step away from scamming
Andreas K@Archie8 @psychxr @grumpygamer Well, it's a fine line.
The ad industry liked to claim that they “inform” the consumer about his choices.
The reality is more that they “mislead” the consumer about his choices, ads tend to show a very one-sided view.
