The argument I've heard about this all day, including on @lbc.co.uk this afternoon, is that "they're not all, white middle-aged men".
I'm very sure 100% are not but images from recent demonstrations would tend to suggest it's a tar brush worth using.

I love how having a female Silver Surfer in the new Fantastic Four movie is making certain people very angry.
A film where 3 out of the 4 Fantastic Four are male, Galactus is male, damn it, even Sue Storm gives birth to a boy.

It's been 6 years since I first suggested it, but WordPress finally coming with a warning message, when you're typing in your password and your caps lock key is on, is getting closer to reality.

Yes, they deem it acceptable to now show you a range of "Spring favourites", all marked as one of your favourites, and none of them being products I've bought, let alone marked as a favourite.
This is a new level of devious, under-handed selling tactics that is totally unacceptable, imo.

Such a shame Sainsbury's can't be bothered to be on Bluesky and see this.
For some time I've been unhappy with the fact that you can mark products as "favourite" and, when viewing them, they occasionally throw in a "sponsored" item (see screenshot).
