    I feel like we’re at the age of the internet where a strong minority (see: Lemmy users) care deeply about all the ugly exploitative and anti-consumer nature of big tech, but the vast majority of the population just… doesn’t care… and shrugs off (and enables) the continual downward spiral.

      The vast majority has learned helplessness and submissiveness. It’s not that they don’t care, they’ve just been beaten down over time.
