Trust corporate America to take something as simple as loading a text article into a digital “experience”. What the hell even is that? (Its marketing jargon for ads, I know). Talk about a circle jerk around the marketing table though.

    Your disgust is valid. But the developer generally has no gall, and no agency. The corporation tells them to pack and monetize the clickthroughs like feeding puppies into a sausage machine. The developer never thought that would be the job.

    In fact, every time you don’t see something like this, it’s because some developer said, “Enough, I won’t do this,” putting their job (and their next rent payment) on the line. I lost two jobs that way.

    Don’t let them divide us. The fascist oligarchs are the villains.
