People are upset about #proton wanting to use AI more, to cut on costs, make more profits...well, I am not at all. Anyone who trades their product/service is subject to its bad influences. Trade is the origin of most problems as I wrote in this book tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbo…

The longer you play the Trade Game, the more chances to become a shithead. A profiteer. An ego-maniac. One who cares more about making a profit than anything else.

There is a reason why I so desperately talk about "trade trade trade" and how this is an awful game. It is indeed the origin of most of our problems. But too few are listening.

The only way around this is to create Trade-Free services. Like we provide via TROM.tf. We provide file hosting, file sharing, social platforms, video platforms, and so much more. And they are all trade-free, meaning you do not have to give us ANYTHING in order to use them. And so we have ZERO incentive to create shitty services. ZERO.

That's the way.

No "small and honest" business can stay small and honest. They have to pay employees, hardware, rents, etc.. They are entangled with you, the user, who needs to pay them else they are fucked. They need to grow, and lying is a short path to that. Cut costs, abuse their employees, hype their products, etc..

So yah, you want trade-free services? Check our directory of trade-free services and organizations directory.trade-free.org/

Rant done.
