Im not super tech saavy, especially compared to the lemmy userbase, but every complaint about software just reads to me like whining about something you chose to install on your computer. You can just not use someone else’s software, yes the mainstream software companies are fucking assholes and they will take all of your data and privacy in exchange for a subscription to their software. It’s on you if you accept that deal.
I’m confused (happens a lot). Is your comment responding to the meme or to some other comment? If the former, I am even more confused, since the meme isn’t complaining about anything at all. It’s poking fun some of the ways people view the web.

That is what I am doing when I deny a site to run scripts on my computer, yes. And I love that I have the ability to make that choice.

lol yes. That’s why I tend to avoid them and their products/services.

Well I do still find it fucked-up that they prey on unsuspecting people who are ignorant of what’s being done to them, including especially kids. It’s not on them. They don’t deserve the bad things done to them by the surveillance corporations. They can’t be expected to know and understand.
While technically correct, it’s a slightly shallow analysis. It’s like people complaining that companies put chemicals in the food, you could grow all of your your own food but it’s probably not feasible.
