Matt Clawson @claw.dev · 27/09/2026it takes effort (sadly)! it started for me in the early aughts pirating TV shows and realizing how much filler commercials represented. it wasn't until later that I made it a specific, intentional thing. 120

Matt Clawson @claw.dev · 27/09/2026I've made a point of cutting out as much advertising (algorithmic and otherwise) out of my life back in 2012 or so. This has been great overall, but it does mean sometimes I'm late to the party to a given piece of media because I either need to chance upon new media or seek it out. 320
Matt Clawson @claw.dev · 27/09/2026I relate to that (rotating between genres). Some wyt people just love to find a new way to play the victim. I didn't listen to your favorite song so it must be a problem with me because I've decided to pick and choose aspects of the monoculture to which I prefer to engage with?? Insane! 110
