You don’t have to. It’s clear many of us feel this way, and you’re not the arbiter of which feelings are valid.

Sure, but when you say something people resonate with it gets upvoted until it's the top comment relatively consistently. So while I have no issue with you objecting to this, most people clearly still agree with it. For what it's worth, I am very much in the "don't be a deceptive asshole" camp.

The other aspect you're missing is once you stop criticizing it, you are passively normalizing it. And that's horseshit. Call out the fuckers that do bad shit more often because they deserve it. I am not saying you are a shill, but you are doing exactly what the company wants - normalizing their shitty behavior and defending them against criticism for it.
