But we're rapidly getting into an environment of "soaking viewers for all we can get out of them" simply to feed the fucking shareholders ever larger payouts.

you just need to keep a shit list of brands that are now dead to you.
I have a dwindling list of brands that are not yet dead to me.
The only brand I can think of that is truly not evil is valve, and thatβs all cause of Gabe.
A good rule of thumb is that if you have heard of a brand but don't remember anything positive about them they should probably be dead to you.
All of them.

What's wrong with being a hermit?
Hermit here, can confirm.
