@ajroach42@retro.social you have. it's cars. there was tons of opposition to cars when they were first introduced, similar to the opposition to AI and data centers today. cars were shoved down peoples throats by the industry lobbying governments to pass laws making streets exclusive to cars, and by the invention of modern marketing as we know it. cars were so unpopular they literally had to reinvent marketing to get people to use them!
