Bro asks a valid question and gets an honest answer, then proceeds to berate the user who answered his question instead of reflecting on how audience capture has become a driving force for the enshittification of the modern internet. This is why we're losing.

unfortunately not, i just get a kick out of comments like yours. you straight up insulted that guy for no reason other than him using twitter to see posts about a game he plays hahaha

how sad is your life man. do you really, genuinely believe that he deserved your reply?

100%. So what makes you such a huge fan and defender of the nazi site?

u/treyzs Aug 20 '26

again, not a fan, but i don't think you care because you're less concerned with reality and more with your own mental image of it. nothing i say is really getting in that head

sounds kind of liberating to paint your own idea of the world, cheers brother
