I've seen it a few times on different sites. Very strange. The strangest was when the different story was on the same topic, so I didn't realize at first.
I tend to agree with your summary of the generations, but my experience in life sounds largely similar to yours, so some obvious bias there. The future you paint feels almost inevitable, and I hate every bit of it. Yet I can't find any reasonably effective way to change it.
I'm not so sure. Black Friday shopping barely kept up with inflation this year, but cyber Monday shopping was up over 12%, so while I'm with you in the minority that prefer a real quality store, it seems most folks don't.
That assumes that because they're paying they aren't also tracking. They might not use it for ads directly but they'll still sell it to others that will show you ads off Facebook.

I appreciate the good faith you're putting into this. I tend to lean your way, but it's interesting to see this discussion play out. Thanks for being respectful. I appreciate it, even though (up to this comment) I'm just observing the thread.
