If there's anything I've learned in the past 10 years is that there must be a gigantic mass of people using the web/smartphone without any hint of self-determination.

Anecdotally I see it in relatives that they're often hopelessly at the mercy of what their screen says. This is who gets targeted with this nonsense.

There's some truth to this. I think folks on Hacker News and in the Tech space broadly ought to remind themselves that they are power users, and their preferences are not representative of all users.
