where did u go wrong in life to allow CNN push notifications on your phone
Yeah, if your reaction to "website wants permission to push notifications to your device" isn't some mix between mirth and revulsion, I don't fundamentally understand you.
It's like people who actually watch commercials. If you don't skip/look away/mute/otherwise attempt to ignore commercials, there are massive differences between us. I even had an ex who thought targeted ads were a good thing, and he would voluntarily fill out the marketing questions that streaming services asked in lieu of commercial breaks. I just ... I can't imagine wanting that.
Why pay for the fucking service, only to be served ads? It's cable TV all over again. I hate it so much.
I have no idea where to find it anymore, but I once got an advertisement for some industrial machine that I think used lasers or something, but more importantly it sounded incredibly fake but was actually real. It was beautiful and made no sense to show me but I love it.
Wait, why would mirth be involved?
"Haha the website runner thinks I'd actually be interested in this"
Oh. I thought mirth was just gladness; I guess I was leaning more towards something like "amusement." Either way, got it.
If you must consume corporate media at least do it trhough rss, please.
