    Because we live in a capitalist hellscape and the companies that implemented these tricks were the fastest growing segment of our economy for like 15 years (esp after the 2008 crash) so the government turned a blind eye. Now they control the world and are able to literally buy politicians

        You need to vote for people that will PUT guillotines on the ballot! If there are none, find someone who will, or be the change you want to see.
