Something that enrages me a lot is the complicity from the media. I had basic trust in major media (knew they served corporate interests, but BASIC trust). The speed at which they ALL flopped on their backs and the thundering silence and constant sanewashing has led me to never trust them again.

I do, I link the reviews. But using different apps for all of them is tiring, and some things donβt neatly fit. I could probably look for a board game review app, but for instance game novels (like Vampire the Masquerade: Shadows of New York) donβt neatly fit into the apps
