How are you going to make any money then?
Answer: paywall their fucking site.
I'm paying for Internet access. If they don't block their site it's free game.

I'm of the opinion that everything that gets passed off as a meme isn't necessarily a meme. Sometimes they're just funny pictures. (Actual humor content may vary)
Memes should have something to do with a commonly understood phrase or thought in the culture and highlight those.
Of course, with enough push those funny pictures can become memes but ideally they would start as a meme and then have comedy added to them.
Yeah they're following the IBM playbook of being the operating system that businesses run.
I just wish they would take a hint and release a paid version that has none of the ads, none of the bloatware, and none of the bullshit.
I feel confident that I could pay them just as much money as they would ever earn from mining my data and annoying the ever-loving fuck out of me and I would be happier about that.
But since they won't do that fortunately there's things like Atlas OS.

Did you get your hypercube new in the store?
Lucky! I found mine on the side of the road and I had to stuff all the strings back into it. Took me ages!
Then I got like this dinosaur infestation I had to wipe them out with a fucking meteorite, and now I'm pretty sure I've got humans and I don't know what to do anymore.
Yep. It's my goal to be as unprofitable a citizen for our corporate overlords as possible.
I want them to lose money by doing business with me.
I want them to go bankrupt so that their future replacements can learn from their mistakes and not repeat them.
If they choose to be user hostile, I'll match their energy and multiply it. Fuck em.
I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.
Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don't look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.
The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on
It's the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.
This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that's clearly being supported by a strand.
The guy says that there must be something going on I'm going to look at my phone as they're driving around and right as he's about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don't look at your phone.
As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes
Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?
The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you'll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they've got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.
Your powers of deduction are sherlockian and uncanny
I only have four fingers and a thumb but I have three penises and two vaginas and six titties.
Yeah realistically you're talking about a team of 10 to 30 people whose entire job is to give the final thumbs up or thumbs down to an ad.
You're talking one to three million dollars a year, maybe throw an extra million on for the VP.
Chump change, they just don't want to pay it cuz nobody's forcing them to
Most personality tests will not tell you anything about yourself that you didn't already know, it will not give you any insights into the correct way to live your life or what is going to work for you.
However, it can help you frame things about yourself in a new light or to help you come to understand the way that you work inside of a larger social picture.
So they don't work to tell you who you are, but they help you be who you can be.
