I think the only way vendors will learn that this is not acceptable is people not buying their stuff any more. In my opinion Windows has pushed "slop" too far and is now experiencing lowering market share and I really hope this happens to all the companies trying a B055man69 move[1] on their customers. 1: Nolan Sorrento, Ready Player One, ▶ this video
Hopefully they'll skip this[0] part: "...once we can rollback some of Halliday's ad restrictions, we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures!" [0] ▶ this video
Actual footage from the Facebook board meeting discussing responsibly building the 'metaverse'. ▶ this video
"We estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures." ▶ this video i guess 81% is the end :P
The fact that Facebook is behind it reminds me of Nolan Sorrento's desire to increase advertising space in the Oasis [1]. [1] ▶ this video
