  • Simply put, the attack is shorter and easier to understand than the nuanced defense.

    Politicians can put “you’re against education!” in a 15 second attack ad on the radio/TV/a poster. It takes a short media appearance to explain the nuance. Which isn’t worth the time or money typically, since so few people will see it.

    Especially since a huge section of our population gets 100% of its news from Fox, Newsmax, and other right wing media. That interview will never air there. In fact, those sources will repeat the party line of “you’re against education!”


  • Agreed. The author seems like a bummer of a person to me.

    Collecting data on users is not inherently bad, there are lots of ways that data collection can be used to the user’s benefit.

    If course in this day in age that is typically not the case and companies are normally collecting data at the detriment of the user but I really don’t see that with what Wrapped shows.

    Plus it’s fun to see little metrics like how many times I listened to a song this year, or see how my listening habits changed as the year went by.

    It’s just a fun and cute thing imo.
