    People keep bringing up that companies do it but at least companies want to exploit everyone equally in profitable ways. Companies aren’t human beings.

      I still find it interesting that people defend companies filming us the whole time. I’d be a lot happier if the response was “Yes, both are shitty. Let’s get rid of both”.
