Somewhat loaded headline
I hate how people getting scammed by near monopolistic monoliths casually being fraudulent in their advertisements is them being "idiots" rather than just victims who haven't spent their whole life navigating the myriad ways billionaires are researching to more elegantly fuck us. Why consumer protection is supposed to be a thing, why anti-trust is supposed to be a thing, and people are trapped between fascists and a "tactical vote" alternative that has done very little to stop the fascists from casually dismantling these protections.
Good job media for always individualizing the problem and blaming the victims.
It's an appeal directly to the thriving community of intellectual property pirates here on Lemmy in order to make the post directly to the front page.
Notice that neither of you have refuted the veracity of the headline claim.
It can sometimes be annoying when news communities require posts to use an article's original headline, but it definitely makes sense at times.

You think so? I only see an acurate representation oft reality
