> Just look at the poor leftist Youtubers pushing NordVPN

Ummm what? Bizarre, unnecessary commentary. Installing a browser extension is about trust. And you just lost a ton of it.

natural language processing (not the pick-up artist pseudoscience). I studied linguistics and psychology and work for mental health oriented orgs.

100% agree with the latter part, 50% with the former. The tech itself is not that useful, but there's potential (the solution to the bigger issues is not technical, but societal).

The joke here is that people criticising capitalism (good) are forced, due to the issues with the current system, to support it. I did my best to make the site not seem too serious, I even call the extension half-assed and I really do mean it. I don't care if people download the extension. It's about the discussion surrounding it and people taking a step back to realise how stupid the situation is.

I suppose my comment is an elaborate way of saying: thank you for reading this and engaging. I mean it in a sincere way.
