Is there any good alternative to myAnimeList or would you recommend I go back to the spreadsheet?

    Unfortunately this is just the state of the web in the modern day. Virtually every site exists to serve you ads while simultaneously collecting your data and selling it to their “partners” in exchange for their content.

      I would love to see any actual verifiable positive ROI numbers directly linked to or resultant from the money a company spent to purchase these targeted ads.

        I think the AI bubble is actually a deeper, more structural data bubble. There isn’t actually a case for profitability, they’re just doing it out of investor demands and inertia and because That’s Just How We Do Things.

      Not only that, but literally the only reason we even have these popups now is because of recent European laws

    We value your privacy, that’s why we’ll sell your data to anyone that is willing to pay us money. We will sell it to literally a thousand different companies which will mix and match and resell you data to thousands more

    It so so so so extremely angers me that companies ALWAYS FUCKING LIE.

    We value your privacy

    FUCK YOU YOU DO NOT

    We’re pissing u on your back and we tell you that you’re getting a refreshing shower, please thank us for this insult!

    Just be fucking honest that you don’t give a shit, money is your only bottom line, and you would rape and murder my mother if you even thought it would make you money. Fuck all of you

    I want a law that says that companies cannot behave like this. You cannot say “your call is important to us” every 2 minutes while I’ve been waiting on the phone for three hours to be able to return your piece of shit product that arrived broken, but you were too cheap to invest in basic customer support.

    I want marketing and advertising outlawed. Completely. It’s allowed for companies to lay out their products, but you’re not. allowed. to. lie. No “we’re the best!” Fuck you, you’re the absolute worst. A company like Comcast should be forbidden from claiming they’re good at anything as they suck at everything and only manage to continue to exist because of fucking lying through their teeth with their marketing.

    these sort of shit popups is just the next logical step that starts literally with the first words being an absolute lie

    Fuck this shit

      They do value our privacy, but they just mean they’re putting a $ amount on it, not that they care about it

    hehe… you TOO can become a partner! We’re having a special! Anyone willing to pay for partnership access coincidentally gets an unrelated trove of personal data!

    To give you a better personalized experience™ of course!

    Just block the partners, should still work. All of the anime pirating sites are riddled with ads.
