    I’m just saying the choice to host instead of letting res or 3rd party apps clean up the interface while they built a huge archive for the low low price of archiving links and conversations. It was inflated more than it could sustain without becoming more commodified so it kept doing that and here we are.

      You took the time to use a fancy curly apostrophe but did not divide the sentences better to make them easier to read?

      This is how I think you could restructure the comment for legibility. Did I misinterpret anything? The second clause about RES seems opposite to what it should say, you might need to explain.

      I’m just saying: they made the choice to focus on hosting content, and let RES or 3ʳᵈ party apps clean up the interface. They eventually built a huge archive for the very low price of archiving links and conversations. This business model worked and people were used to it, so they continued hosting more, eventually realizing they couldn’t sustain it without ramping up the ads, which is why they limited access this year.

        Cool thanks anyways. Edit: sorry that was rude of me. You might’ve been genuinely trying to help, if so, thanks. Judging from your first point though this only seems to be condescending and derails the conversation, hope that wasn’t your intention but that’s how you came across to me.

            Did I upset you when I was fast and loose on the grammar conventions at 1 in the morning? How does it make you feel when you talk down to people?

            Edit: To answer your question, yeah that hostility was obvious at first glance. Just decided to give you the benefit of the doubt, because some people miss grammar conventions, other people miss social conventions, doesn’t mean either deserve to be treated as lesser.

              Sorry, I don’t enjoy talking down to people but can’t help but be cynical sometimes. I hope we both get some sleep.

                Thanks, you too. I’ve slept though, I’m rested, the two days migraines let up which is nice.

                Free friendly advice: Look you might be cynical, but this kind of behavior isn’t cynicism and saying that it is is a cop out. It’s unprovoked hostility. It’s helped me to pay attention to those kinds of impulses. Is it pattern in your interactions? You’ll be a happier person when you’re aware and work on the ways that you belittle and alienate other people, even strangers on the internet. If that came across in anyway other than encouraging friendly advice that wasn’t my intention and I truly hope you have a wonderful day, stranger. Best and better yet, we all want a kinder internet!

                  You’re right. Thanks for the advice, I’ll discuss this with my therapist.

                  Is this a pattern in your interactions?

                  Unfortunately yes. My grandma talks slowly, often uses filler words and takes time to remember names for objects so she says “that” a lot without it being clear what she’s referring to. This annoys me to no end, probably because of my short attention span. I would like to tolerate that more because she is so nice otherwise.
