I do 3/4 pages at most having to click next.
Hardly doom scrolling.
I can live with it, and not complaining personally even if I would rather see it changed because It’s annoying and doesn’t prevent anything IMO.

Who’s overreacting here?
I simply answered your question.

LOL

Almost got it and screwed up in your last sentence.
Bernie the sheepdog works for the same people

I get the good intention but I feel it’s a bit patronizing.

Great, they don’t deserve them

They need this carefully crafted image in the media of a stupid and crazy maniac.
His adversaries can underestimate him and he can get out of difficult questions simply by talking gibberish.
More importantly:
In the short term he’s president he can act like a loose cannon, make wild moves that wouldn’t be possible under a rational president.
Even against partner vassal countries.
And in 2 years they can blame it all on him, of course they will not (be able to) change the beneficial things for the powers behind the curtain.
The next face will definitely apologize for stealing oil from Venezuela, etc but explain the situation is changed now, contracts with oil companies signed and more excuses to keep this situation in place.

Every 3rd rate celebrity has people to manage their many social media accounts.
Do people actually believe he’s coming up with all the crazy tweets or messages?
The ‘I have all the cards’ one is obvious.
They chose this game specifically.
As if there’s nobody in his media team that knows how to play UNO and would let it pass.
I am not buying the act.

It wouldn’t be ‘their’ economy then would it?
How about americans stop sanctioning them (and other countries) and stop stealing their resources,

purchases I felt I needed

I’m sorry but I feel that’s a weak excuse.
Especially if you say you only want to quit now because you don’t like their service.

I see this a lot with americans, they have little motivation or conviction.
The political situation is a good example.
They can barely get themselves to do a half-assed one day strike.
While in Europe we strike for days and burn the streets fif they even think about doing a fraction of the shit your regime does.
The No Kings BS, not buying from Wallmart for a day and other embarrassing and futile acts will not do anything.
You have a mentality problem.
And it’s only going to get worse until you all grow a spine.
I wish you good luck (sorry if it sounds hard but it needs to be said)

As if that’s not a scummy company and Omidyar isn’t a complete POS
americans LOL

LOL stop crying when you still support them.

Just checked for 2 minutes and immediately noticed clearly astroturfed fake and AI reviews.

And who cares what this nobody says?
Should this be an item in even a garbage UK outlet, or worse Lemmy?

Exactly, that’s what made it so unbelievable and unrealistic.

And ‘edited’ in PS with AI is still AI

losing only 8% sounds fair

They deliberately left a lot alive and in powerful positions.
Capitalism loves fascism.

Even worse, the west protected the fascists and kept them in place.
With the same excuse they later used to protect the criminals that caused the 2008 crisis: “too big to fail”.
They did absolutely nothing about their gambling system which will inevitably lead to another crash.
the only thing they did change was how to deal with it when it goes wrong.
No more trouble approving bail-outs, now they have bail-in laws where these criminals will get rewarded by stealing from the public’s bank accounts.

Politicians say a lot

interest are insulting compared to what they make with MY money.
Not to mention you have to beg and explain yourself when you want to take out some of it.
Demanding costs for everything, etc…

Imagine simping for banks
