Call me when you find a company that isn’t trying to sell stuff.

I don’t think you deserved to be downvoted.

I think you just might have misunderstood what I was saying, which is fair because I have little context.

I just meant that the criticism isn’t levied at the individuals, but at a company that’s pushing content out to sell you things.

So, while I’m sure in many of these contexts an individual shared partial responsibility, the criticism is leveraged against the company as a whole in this circumstance since I’m not going to pretend to understand what’s going on internally.

Appreciate the comment!
