>Just turn notifications off. Just don't look at twitter/Facebook/tiktok. It's not hard to just not use the brain rot stuff. I get it you are addicted - I guess just be thankful it's not alcohol or cigarettes. Get help for your addiction.

That part is precisely the problem. "Just get help for your addiction" is not how anything works.

It's incredibly hard for an addict to stop using the brain rot stuff. A lot of very smart people make a lot of money making it as hard as possible.

The company is in the US and in the current political climate, it can absolutely do whatever it wants as long as it pays off a couple of people.

It doesn't even take being in a "third world country".

Plenty of US websites are blocking access from EU IP addresses because of our data protection laws.

Local news companies are the biggest offenders in this regard.

That is so sad, man. How is this normal for you?

Pardon my French, but yeah, no shit?

AI companies are black holes for money the way delivery companies are (or were, considering the money people are willing to pay these days).

Most of them will disappear alongside the money people have bet on them.
