Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

The only good news is I'm racking my brain and I don't think I've ever mentioned a product of any sort by name that I wasn't bashing it. Sorta the economic version of survivor bias? If it's good, I have no reason to bring it up.
I hope those slip through so someone can see an ad that says:
Zoloft
"It never did shit for me"
— N.
It's going to be something like this:

(Promoted) Comcast plans for you starting from $2999.99/mo! Like you have any other choice HAHAHAHAHA
This describes my relationship with Dell perfectly. I never buy anything from Dell, and I always tell other people to avoid them. The best thing I can say about most of their products is "at least it's not HP", and the few decent things they sell tend to be massively overpriced.
Despite that, I have a ton of Dell products that I've either saved from the trash or have been given second hand over the years, and my experiences with many of them have been just fine, maybe even bordering on pleasant in some cases. The monitor I'm looking at right now is a Dell, and it's pretty good.
On the other hand, I've spent afternoons ripping my hair out trying to adapt power supplies for their stupid proprietary motherboards, or figuring out how to compile a fan controller driver for Linux, because their laptop fans won't fucking spin until a proprietary driver is loaded in the OS.
Guess which Dell products I tell people about when they ask me what computer to buy? It's sure not the ones that are decent, but otherwise unremarkable.
