I guess a "Content creator" of Montreal was attacked after the game but other Sabres fans stopped him

This content creator is intentionally abrasive. Rage bait stuff. There are receipts everywhere of him being a first class jerk. 
 

What’s curious to me is why not release the video of the interaction? Surely these people would love to take in the sympathy clicks, views, and engagement. Or was this guy an aggressive azz and someone responded in a way that he hoped? For content farming? It’s all gross and none of it is hockey.

If you read those comments, it looks like that “content creator” got exactly what he was aiming for.

Phones in general, but specifically they're getting too complicated, and ads on them. 

Apps. I remember a long time ago... Actually in some cases just a year or two ago, where I would load an app, it could be Instagram, it could be a business app, it could be really anything....you signed up, you started, and away you went. 

Now when I want to search for an app, the store is loaded with ads. Sometimes I'll type in the app I want and it won't even show me the one I want. It'll show me suggested ones that must be paying to have them go to the top of the list, and I actually have to scroll down to find the exact app that I searched for specifically. 

Then you load the app. I'll use Instagram as an example because I don't use it often... so sometimes I uninstall it and reinstall it. I install it and then the app asked me if I want to to have it Remember my username and password, if I select no, then my phone asked me if I want to have my PHONE memory remember the username and password. Then I load it and it gives me some 'helpful hints' that I read the last 10 times I loaded Instagram, but it insists on blocking part of my screen to give them to me again. No thanks. I just want to see if somebody left me messages in the past month. Then more 'helpful hints' or 'reminders'  pop up. Then because I haven't used it in a while, When I go to click my messages it gives me a reminder that it could fix errors when I'm typing. Then as I'm responding to a message, my screen basically gets blocked by the keyboard and another reminder that it can do something else for me.. maybe the 20th reminder I seen about disappearing messages. And then I did something else on it and it blocks my screen with another helpful hint. I just want to see if a relative or my daughter left a message, can you please leave me alone with all of the reminders that I've read 20 other times I've loaded your app!

I know there are other apps that are the same way. I don't even use it anymore but I think once or twice I loaded tick-tok to see what it was all about and I remember they gave me some kind of a tip literally about how to scroll up and down on the screen and you couldn't do anything until that was cleared. 

Then, try going to some websites to read an article or to read a post through your browser. First, it takes a while to load because one or two adds load. Then a pop-up comes up that has a little tiny x that nine times out of 10, When you try to click it to clear it, you're going to miss the x and it's going to take you to the ad blocking your entire screen. Then you finally get back to the page and as you're reading the article, more ads pop up. some of them You can only partially reduce, leaving you with about 20% of your screen to read what you want to read. 

To do something very simple on your phone is now becoming a process that is taking longer than me actually writing this post.

I hate working for a lame duck employer.    Discussions about extending the time we are open a few months to accommodate some customer needs.

***** your customers.  ***** creating more revenue for you.  Just rip the damned bandaid off and end this transaction like you said you were going to do in February.
