Make a good product that does not rely on exploiting user data. Advertise in relevant locations without tracking (e.g. if you sell cars, advertise on a car-centric website/forum/magazine).


You don't have to reply to every comment I make in reply to someone else in this thread, just FYI.

No, none of this is a light pattern. It's just abstaining from the activity entirely.


What are you on about? Do you realise you replied to me first, and the two times I replied to you responding to someone else were on the same thread that goes back to my original comment? No one’s after you, I just looked at the child replies in my post. Honestly I didn’t even realise I was replying to the same person. Complaining about it happening twice is quite the persecution complex.

Exactly what you say here:

I find that very odd, not to pay attention to who you are replying to, but OK.

> quite the persecution complex.

Nah. It's a pretty common behavior or 'pattern' that some people who feel strongly about a position will reply to other child comments by a person they are debating with.

I find it frustrating because it normally leads to a lot of redundancy, with the same points being repeated in multiple places, just wasting time.

I mistakenly thought that's what you were doing. I apologize.
