I'd (sincerely) appreciate if you'd expand on this in more considered language. After reading the article I was hoping to see more comments here reacting to and engaging with the central analogy this essay is built around (between the evolution of desktop and mobile client software platforms and the evolution of social media) but was disappointed to see that nearly all the comments ignored it and just made some tenuously related point about content moderation in general. Your comment on the other hand seems to react (negatively, which is fine) to the central analogy, but its knee-jerk hostile phrasing is unlikely to be appreciated (or even understood) by anyone who doesn't already know what you're talking about and share your sentiments. So, if you were to phrase your sentiments in a more friendly (to the public, not necessarily to the writer of this essay) manner it could make this comments section more interesting and potentially fruitful.
