So are we all now officially complaining about that it stinks where we've SEO-sh*tted for two decades? Good, then let's get rid of this ad network dystopia which never worked as advertised (they show me special offers for a frying pan, 2 weeks after I ordered one. Laughable ya folks). Replace it with great authentic inspirational content and people will throw their 2 bucks at it.

Too bad that the powers that be has decided that payments must be identified, so such a new internet will by necessity not be anonymous, but instead tracked and identified in every aspect.

  There's a difference between me deciding which payment method I use for service X and having service X decide into which tracking networks they put me in. Additionally, Mullvad showed how to use cash via regular post to pay 100% anonymously for service X.

    Oh, there are ways to do it nicely! But they won’t be used, and won’t be available.

What's the point of censoring only one character from the word "shitted"? Both you and everyone that reads your comment know exactly what you are saying, so it's not like you are shielding anyone from anything. And neither is there anyone who is going to punish you for saying a naughty word on the internet. What are you afraid is going to happen if you write "shitted"?

    That is a disappointing answer. I was hoping for the truth, but got a poor attempt at humour instead. I genuinely want to know the real answer, because this kind of behaviour confuses me. And every time I ask someone about it they don't answer, or get a non-answer like yours. If HN blocked comments with certain words, I'd understand. If you genuinely find shit an offensive word, and instead chose to use some other word instead, I would understand. But this makes no sense. So please explain.
