It’s like abuse … if you abuse an individual long enough on a regular basis, the abused person eventually normalizes everything … sometimes the abused person fights back or refuses … but given enough time and effort, if they are not able to avoid the abuser, they learn to accept everything that is done to them.

They employ the same tactics and psychology for torturing people.

Microsoft isn’t the dumb one here … because in one way or another, we are all paying to be abused and tortured by these corporations who are making millions off of all of us.
