How did Big Tech brainwash people to think accepting cookies and consuming brainrot was cool?

I see people actively shunning those who are not part of the Tiktok lifestyle
Basically the only guys getting laid are cookie accepters

It is not brainwashing because normies don't have brains or souls

>>82117154 (OP)
you're not special for blocking cookies, autistic retard

Accepting cookies is necessary because HTTP is a stateless protocol. If you want to have any persistence between between sessions you either need to create an account on their side and autheticate every time (more bullshit tracking) or have a file stored on the client.

Yes I am.
Most people click the green button becuase they're idiots

I don't.
PHP session storage is all that's needed. Sure it's stored on the server but it can hardly be used to profile me. Nobody sells or buys that data.

Big tech was created to harvest data and the nefarious state that created them also created the legal environment to facilitate that data harvesting. It's not exactly complicated how it happened.

>>82117258
Yeah but why do normies compete on who embraces it the most?

How do you know they are real people and not bots? It would be very profitable for these social media companies to use their vast tech and money to create bots to drive their own numbers up and we already know a lot of the traffic on these sites is just bots.

You're retarded if you think people aren't interested in what content you view, how long for, when etc. You're giving away market research data that companies used to have to pay for.

Day in day out people tell me "haha it's worth nothing" "haha you're not that interesting haha"
