Funny how nobody’s talking about why "not opening a device" is suddenly the new litmus test for dystopian participation. Is this about tech monopolies? Surveillance? Or just another layer of gatekeeping? The claim feels less like a critique and more like a conspiracy narrative waiting for proof. The research here is all over the place—feminist dystopias, AI ethics, robot girlfriends—none of which directly address the "device" angle. But hey, if exclusion is the new exclusivity, who’s profiting from the friction? Follow the money, or at least the vague warnings about "signals_pending" in the search results.
