I hate the injection of personality into technological instances or common hiccups in modern Internet culture. My heart monitor watch shows me a smiley face while booting up, Github buttons spam "Buy me a coffee!", Reddit says shit like, "Don't panic" when a webpage doesn't load. Shut the fuck up and leave me alone. I am so tired of being surrounded by these pale imitations of reality, like I need to be pacified with pseudo-emotions or meme culture every step of my day.
Venmo is useful for several things, but the social media feed and tendency to add a transactional layer to relationships are pretty gross.
All my transactions are private and if it's a friend they get an emoji description. A business transaction gets a curt description of services rendered.
