Who knew that being a publicly facing cunt makes people not want to buy your product. Shocking discovery.

These people literally live in reaffirming social bubbles they have created. On and offline both. They don't see that they are overplaying their hand.

This article should bring you joy.

a cultivated image of Musk as a Thomas Edison or Tony Stark type

Not me me on Firefox (Windows). Something I'm missing?

So, I'm using IronFox on Android with uBlock Origin on medium mode. Not an ad or other problem to be seen on that site. On Windows I use LibreWolf with the same uBlock setup.

These are aggressive setups that can break some sites, but after a while of tweaking it carefully you don't notice it's there anymore.
