#TERFs accidentally called for all #trans #women to get a #raise.

The #hateful #discourse began when two #X users (both with white green, white, and purple hearts in their display names, a #dogwhistle for #TERF #ideology) took to #socialmedia to #commiserate.

“If #trans #women were treated like actual women, none of them would want to #transition,” wrote the first user.

Good news, everybody! [1]

#Patreon has now added a new useless "#suggestions" widget to my timeline, and probably yours too! It tries to get me to sign up for more creators and pay them more money, without actually having a clue what I want to see!

It's another case of a company trying to jam junk down your throat to goose their "engagement" metrics. Somebody probably got a #raise or even a #promotion for nursing this #antifeature through the pipeline. I hope they have to drink themselves to sleep because of it.

It's clutter, and it pisses me off because it's just one more thing making it harder to actually see the #content I'm #paying for. Never mind the fact that adding un-skippable #advertising to a service I pay for every month is driving me awfully close to just shutting my Patreon account.

Remember, Advertising Shits In Your Head.

[1] Not actually good news.

"Let's Groove" is a song by American band #EarthWindAndFire, released as the first single from their eleventh studio album, #Raise (1981).
