    I get your frustration, but this is like going to a party where there’s a bunch of different conversations going on, mingling through some of them and then joining a group of people having one conversation and asking everyone to stop this conversation without even offering an alternative.

    And at this kind of party, you don’t even have to stop your current conversation to begin a new one, so these topics don’t need to stop to make room for others, the others can just start up in parallel.

    But this stuff is fascinating, like billionaire Jerry Springer only instead of yelling at each other about whose kid can play on which playground, their battleground is online platforms and two players are seeing how much they can light their platform on fire without everyone leaving while the other is popping up in new places saying, “if you just start out completely on fire, no one will notice unless they stop and look around, but then you just target people where the idea of looking too closely at anything terrifies them to their core and they won’t give a shit even if your conversations about how dumb they are for trusting you leak.”

      Your first paragraph makes it seem like you didn’t even read my comment. Not interested in a condescending conversation.
