25 8 ReplyBradleyUffner @lemmy.world Yeah! Why would people be interested in talking about some of the biggest names in tech making idiotic decisions motivated by greed, hubris, and vanity? That's totally boring! We should all be talking about switching to Linux, beans, and flashlights!!!

At least these accounts are inactive, instead of actively asking for feet pics.
Ugh. I think Quinton Tarantino alone made at least half of these accounts.
