Meh, that’s nothing - just look at the multitude of directories forced upon any storage device you plug into something running Android.

FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.cato Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that Toys R Us wasn't killed by competition, but by private equity companiesEnglish12·19 days agoFrom the Wikipedia page:
In September 2017, Toys “R” Us filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and Canada. In June 2018, Toys “R” Us closed its remaining 200 stores after entering bankruptcy, however certain international divisions outside of the United States continued.
In January 2019, the global (excluding Canada) Toys “R” Us intellectual property was transferred to Tru Kids, Inc. In August 2021, Tru Kids announced that Toys “R” Us would be opening over 400 stores within Macy’s starting in 2022. A few new standalone stores would open, starting late in 2021. The flagship store is located in New Jersey at the American Dream shopping and entertainment complex. A second flagship store was opened inside the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in November 2023.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. They DO make a right-wing, however.

It’s a bit like attacking someone’s food preferences. One of the more commonly seen examples is pineapple on pizza: some love it, while others are absolutely as repulsed as you describe. It’s just a matter of taste and personal preferences. Attacking others for liking pineapple opens the attackers up to being attacked for liking something else (e.g. olives).
In the end it’s best just to accept that such variations in people keeps the world from being bland and boring. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life (assuming it’s all above board as the other commenter mentioned).
