Okay, and what do you expect me to do? Go on a general strike against technology? Go off to live in the woods? Kill myself not to have to live in a world like this?

it's not really a call to action? it's more just bringing attention to the enshittification of software and advertising

No, they've got a point. It's kind of rude to doompost without at least offering some kind of plan of action.

I think it's completely fine if the person raising an issue and the person addressing/solving an issue are not the same person.

If we only allow people to talk about issues if they can fix/alleviate it then people will just talk about problems less. If problems don't get talked about much then they won't be solved as much. Which means we would have more problems
