        No worries, I agree that it’s annoying. But it’s the algorithm that makes that all but inevitable, it’s not a failure of any individual or group of individuals. It’s the failure of capitalism, tbh.

        I’m neurodivergent, so I’m already parsing language in a strange way. So, when I come across this type of contradictory statements, I like to point them out.
