At the early age of the internet, innocent teenager me ended up on the website full of promise of Softonic. As for many of us, the perspective of easy free downloads quickly turned into a nightmare full of unwanted ~~mal~~software, stupid browser tool bars, dodgy pop ups and full computer wipes.

A single experience with Softonic and your brain flag them for eternity as the website not to use when you need something, anything. This was back in 2003.

Today, in 2025, I just found out they still exist! No way they even kept the same name/domain, I have 1000 questions:

How come? Do you still get shit when you download with them? How do they even make money while paying their charges and making everyone life shit? Why many so great sites get shutdown, owners go to jail, and not them? How do they even manage to rank into Google search TODAY? And just, how the fuck are they still alive, why?

Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but isn’t it basically just a petition? I get that it shows lawmakers people are against something and puts some pressure on them, but why are people celebrating?

They can still just ignore it and do whatever they want, can’t they? I’ve never really understood why petitions are seen as more powerful than just a way to let politicians know the public’s unhappy.

These corporations keep on increasing prices, and removing features for users in the name of "security".

Nintendo's ecosystem is now even more restrictive than Apple.

They wonder why everyone want to jailbreak and pirate their stuff....

You just know there's people sitting there waiting for 1m signatures so they can be the first to post it here for karma.

It's great - we get it, and believe in it. Stop the spam though please :)

Peace.
