people figure out the system

Only tech savvy people figure out how to go around this system. Roughly 80% ~ 90% of consumers will not realize what's happening or won't bother figuring out a solution.

Hell, even if only 10% of the consumers paid a slightly higher price the company still earns more by buying your data.

Statistics are on the side of the company. Buying consumer data is always the best strategy for them. The only thing that can limit abuse of privacy and consumer rights is government regulation.

So you're saying that everyone that dislikes anime "just doesn't get it" ? That's a pretty silly take.

I've watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can't do it anymore

Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

- Incredibly frustrating dialogue

I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can't connect with the characters. It doesn't need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

- Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you're just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it's still too much. I can't sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue

You're not looking at this correctly. No one congratulates themselves for returning the cart.

The point here is that the simple act of returning the shopping cart is the baseline of ethical behavior. This is just illustrating that society's individualism is so strong that this simple act of spending 10 seconds to keep the place in order is often ignored.

Of course people that return the shopping cart can be ignorant assholes as well. But the point is that this extremely basic act is severely lacking in society. Therefore we can't expect, as you said, more advanced ethical values. Such as using one's time and energy to promote changes to other foreign countries

Your right to free speech ends when it turns into terrorism, racism or a call for a coup.

There are some things that should be banned, such as the twitter accounts that promoted the attempt at a coup in Brazil in Jan 8 2023.

These are the accounts that the judge asked to be banned. After Twitter didn't comply they started sending fines and eventually outright banning it.

Free speech doesn't mean you can say literally anything. It means the government cannot punish you for your political views. But they can, and must punish racism and anti-democracy speech.

Also, it's a misconception that a decentralized service cannot be banned. In fact it's not hard at all

Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It's written in the article that I assume you haven't read

The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election

This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups
