For the average Joe, changing the size or placement of a button on a webpage/mobile app is no big thing, right? For a smart analyst, it can mean a whole lot more. Thats the thing. It is that level of manipulation of the everyman that has led us here.

Thing is, I don't think the average person knows how bad it is. Most of the REALLY bad stuff is going on behind the scenes.

Danica Patrick is TRASH - I took my then ten-year old kid to meet her at a race years ago, and she refused to say hello to him (We even had pit passes) because she didn't "do that" before a race.

Its crazy how many people seem to be joining this platform - and just how much outrage is being aired here. Makes me wonder if there was some real apprehension on the other platforms, or if it was all being filtered?
