I’m old enough to remember when the advice people gave to deal with a bully was “Beat their ass and they’ll stop.”
But bullies somehow changed the narrative to where fighting back was wrong. It’s not. Self defense is never wrong. The only people that argue this are bullies.
Some people only speak the language of violence, and if you want them to understand your reply it must be delivered in a way they understand.
Bullies do not self correct their behavior. They find it rewarding and it continues until they are stopped.
The other option is creating a reliable, high quality product that people want and creates value for the user. This was how most businesses operated before Jack Fucking Welch.
But it’s easier to force slop, ads, and slop-made ads on people.
