MODERATORS
I've been pushing it for a while now.
But, we need to start harassing marketers.
We need to tell them "No, I won't and haven't ever subscribed to your shit. I've never bought your shit. You spend millions to shove your shitty product and service in my face, everywhere I go and everything I use. I will continue to use adblockers to spite you. I will shit all over your product and service in anyway I can. I will send back the shit you've sent me. And if anything, I will get personal with you because you've been harassing me and getting away with it for however long, just because you've spent millions to do so. I am making it even."
The marketers don't make the decision. They're underpaid wage slaves just reading script.
We know they aren't. But the point is to make their jobs so discouraging, they wouldn't ever want to do shit for these companies again. That's only the beginning.
Besides, a lot of them chose to do that job anyways. Don't try garnering sympathy for these kinds of people.
