..I'm still the product?

Yes. You always will be with any corporate streaming service.

I get that, but like the things I mentioned, most porn/comics/TV is boring, predictable, generic crap and a waste of time and brain cells. So, I don't understand why most porn/comics/TV is popular either. Absolute garbage! I can think of a thousand things I'd rather be doing than sifting through all that generic crap.

In the browser? Has that been introduced?

YES! A hide sports button sounds amazing. Including car sports of course.

And a hide Hentai/Manga/Anime button. I don't understand its popularity.

A hide Games/Gaming/Gamer button including PS1-7, Xbox, Playstation etc..

Definitely a hide Furry/yiff/fetish button.

A boobs/celeb/shoes button

A religion button.

People can look at whatever they like, but it would be amazing of my block list could be reduced from a thousand to a couple. The brilliant thing about federated instances is also one of the most annoying. If you block something on lemmy.world you likely have the same community on lemmy.ml or many of the other instances. Blocking the exact thing five times is tedious.

This is a thorough and accurate assessment. If you include the "van" type vehicle, which is essentially the same as the little truck with a roof, you get the added benefit of being able to lock your goods and tools away. And then there's THIS.

This article neglects to point out that the initial join up number was a deceptive and manipulative corporate strategy which amounts to smoke and mirrors. 100 million people didn't join up for threads! Meta created a placeholder account for every Instagram account in existence. People were able to follow an account that the owner of never made or approved of. Then to top it off, Meta made it initially impossible to delete said placeholder unless you delete your whole Instagram. Nice retention strategy. Too bad it smells like a corporate dump on it's users. When it became possible for people to delete it without losing Instagram it halved overnight. But they got the big media headline, and that's all that matters right. Meta, and threads, is just a pathetic attempt to retain the centralized control of ~~customer~~ ~~people~~ ~~user~~ account holder data, identity and advertising profile as we transition into web3. Don't be lazy. Take control of your own data and identity. These corporate assholes have proven beyond any doubt that they despise people and will abuse you, your rights and privacy without hesitation or remorse. Just quit those broken and failed centralized corporate web2 advertising platforms already.
