I sounds like you suffer from internalized proprietary.



Product manager for proprietary malware peddler attempts to convince suckers that their malware does anything other than artificially restrict users and further the cause of vendor lock-in.



Gamers have a very short memory. The “ooh shiny!” mentality means that, as a demographic, they are willing to tolerate a high degree of abuse as long as they get to placate themselves with self amusement software.

I make it a rule for myself to not pass credentials (maintain an account) on any service which is MITM’d by cloudflare. I’ve lost several accounts to sites moving behind cloudflare in this way.

Additionally, I have an extreme allergy to web tracking and cloudflare is positioned uniquely to be a point of central data aggregation, particularly about browsing habits and adtech shadow profile building.

Even some fedi instances have infested themselves with cloudflare.




So if a console came out next year that also exceeded Windows in the quantity of games, you which ditch your gaming PC and switch over to New Console™ in a heartbeat?

Consoles are only a few rungs further down on the freedom ladder than a Windows PC. Both are somewhere near the bottom.



If the same document forbade reviewers from talking about, say, white replacement (which I don’t personally believe btw, just trying to hold up a mirror, here), I’m sure you wouldn’t be crying censorship.


People keep paying for them. The industry will keep on selling that way. Keep rewarding bad behavior.
