The rapidly-increasing percentage of my day spent ensuring that whatever product or service I’m interacting with isn’t actively trying to fuck me is exhausting.

We are no longer customers or clients or citizens or even human. We are exploitable marks, turnips to be bled dry and discarded.

I don’t mean this to apply just to tech — it’s everything, from cable providers to oil companies to the stock market to (and inspired and led by) the President of the United States.

We live in a grift culture, where the only thing that matters is how much you have to be cheated out of.

Yep, yep, yep.
