I ll start with 10:1. Verifying you are human delays/redirects2. Invasive Sign in with Google[1] prompts on every website, often taking over the UI3. Phone number based identity so when you change your number you lose your entire savings account and social media and all work access and your whole life is basically F-CKED except your romantic life which is very much NOT F-CKED since nobody knows your number.Never change your number.4. You will own nothing gaming where games you thought you owned get yoinked away at the leisure dare I say the PLEASURE of these neocorporate ingrates who want to de-fun (and defund) every lived experience!5. You can join any time you want but you can never delete. Livin it up at the Hotel Social Media. What a nice surprise, livin someone else s life!6. You have been banished!7. You have been shadow banished (and don t know it)!8. Your content violates our guidelines (hey buddy your guidelines violate my content - WHO NEEDS WHO. GENUINE QUESTION Idk anymore)9. Ads.10. Undisclosed advanced mind reading technology largely manifest in advertising, media, entertainment, and heh did I say advertising, decaying our minds, delaying our inevitable human renaissance whereby all people of all backgrounds, races, colors, creeds, styles, preferences, decide to TAKE BACK the crown of prosperity, smelt it down into bullets, and remind this patriarchy what it means to bleed in the LAND of the FREE AMEN JESUS![1] I call this one out by company name because they seem to be the only auth provider with enough reach to be able to abuse us en masse with a very invasive overlay that pops up across many unrelated sites, it s very annoying, wouldn t you agree?Your turn.
