I've seen this exact picture so many times that I actually wonder if it is fake. Not the phenomenon but these pictures specifically.
I don't care tbh. I am writing everything here as if everyone at any time could read it.

Just learn German. Just do it
Recently?! Nintendo famously hates their fans for years now.
Warum nicht klassisches Prepaid?
I pronounce it "data" of course.
Do it the German way and just trauma dump. I mean if they didn't care they shouldn't have asked.
In Germany "how are you" is also smalltalk but you are not expected to lie. Just keep it short.

"Nicht so gut gerade und bei dir?"

I needed to scroll way too much to see people mention marketing and advertising. It's a huge deal.
The power of good advertising is not to be underestimated. There is a good statistically proven reason why so much money flows into it. And it's not only traditional advertising but viral and "astroturfed" advertising.
I really hate the culture of self censorship people are developing. Fuck the corporate clean Internet.
I'm not advocating for being uncivilized but we should name the things we are discussing by their names.
Language is flexible. Deal with it.
