I used to put stickers on my desktop PC and laptop when I was in my early 20s. Then I realised my laptop was kinda free advertising for whatever companies product I had stuck on the back.

Now it seems have come very "corporate cringe", similar to the 16 pieces of flair at Chotchkie's. It also looks a bit childish IMO.

God forbid people have a bit of fun in their lives.

If someone's idea "fun" is putting a sticker on your laptop, then they really need to get out of the house more often.

It's just some stickers on a piece of equipment, why are you making this so complicated?

The problem is that it isn't just stickers on a piece of equipment.

A lot of these laptop stickers are either tech stacks (which are usually a form of advertising for a corporation), quasi-political messaging or outward political messaging.

I've partially explain this in my OP and other replies under this subject, but I and many other see them as a warning sign of things that are much more worrisome. I am naturally suspicious of any "corporate fun stuff" which is what a lot of this has turned into. That was accurately portrayed for what it is in office space with the "16 pieces of flair". Anyone who calls this out as suspicious will have someone like yourself saying "what is the problem? just a sticker".

Ok, so you just want to make this complicated for no reason, gotcha.

Nope. You asked the question, I gave you a pretty clear and polite answer, which in retrospect you didn't deserve. It is fine if you don't agree, being a dick about it isn't.

If you aren't interested in my (or anyone elses) POV, don't bother asking the question in future.
