I had an interesting reaction to reading reviews of apps in Software Manager - instead of "ugh, here's some free marketing and good press for some money-grubbing corporation", it's much more "these are words written by other users of this free software and they were written to guide future users of it". It's similar to the comparative peace I feel using and supporting a particular Mastodon server vs being on Twitter or Facebook - I'm actually connecting with other people, not machines.
