Nope. But if a topic's been done to death, or there's nothing truly new to be discussed about $topic, or it'll just result in "gnarrrr"-type posts, imma mash that button.
My interest was in the asssumption that "Americans" are trapped, not really the specific target oof the authors article. This is a very current tech topic that is a valid source of discussion.
there are plenty of other places on the internet to discuss meaningless political bullshit. everyone lives in their own echochamber these days
anyways and no one is “exploring the subject” but just spewing shit they saw/read on other social media platforms.

I still don't understand the reasoning.
Others may have new perspectives and ideas that you don't anticipate.
