This right here is what echoes through my brain through decades of advertisers becoming 'the backbone of the internet'.

Like really, take a step back. Whose platform are you co-opting?!

Internet existed before advertisers (on the internet). Period. Hard stop.

I will even edit it a Furthermore! here. Diatribe style!

The people making the posts and comments are the platform. The platform has shown it is mutable, and goes where it thrives best. It has always been this way since the dawn of dialup. ๐Ÿคœ
