- darknavi 3y agoIt can't be bad "business" because they aren't making the game for money. Definitely childish though.
- hk__2 3y ago> It can't be bad "business" because they aren't making the game for money. It’s bad for their image and so for any business they may work on now or in the future.
- gochi 3y agoWhy would you want to do business with someone who prefers your content being used and monetized without your consent?
- VHRanger 3y agoI don't think it's childish. It's very crude, but satire often is and is one effective way of driving change in society around us.
- kikokikokiko 3y agoLife is a meaningless crawl towards the heat death of the universe. Childish behavior is the most appropriate attitude one can have towards most things.
- HeckFeck 3y agoI wish there was still more of a genuine whimsical side to the Internet or even businesses. The attention economy isn't the same.

- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI found a link on HN a while ago that shows you just that, it's a randomizer (like the old StumbleUpon) that sends you to random "old internet" webpages: https://wiby.me/surprise/ https://wiby.me/surprise/ It sent me to a 1998 page about phrenology, the 'science' of determining someone's mental traits based on indentations in their skull: https://www.phrenology.org/index.html https://www.phrenology.org/index.html
- HeckFeck 3y agoWiby is a great resource. My roll took me back to 'nam: https://jackrvn70.neocities.org/ https://jackrvn70.neocities.org/ I happen to run a directory of 'escapist/artistic' websites, if a second instance of self-promotion is permissible: https://wmw.thran.uk https://wmw.thran.uk
- furyofantares 3y agoI totally agree with you, and there are definitely more whimsical ways to go about it than goatse. Even if I personally can find whimsy in getting randomly goatse'd I'm not gonna say that someone who finds it really disturbing deserves what's coming to them just because they are insufficiently chill.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoAnyone today familiar with goatse is likely to be well into their thirties at least.
- sh34r 3y agoIf you were on forums in the aughts, it was unavoidable. I think every very online millennial knows what Goatse is. The youngest millennial is 27. Which begs the question: is Goatse what spreads Zoomers and millennials apart?
- packetslave 3y agoyes, everything done on the Internet must be deadly serious and professional AT ALL TIMES. I'd guess you're pretty old.
- InfamousRece 3y agoOr very young. Young people never experienced what the Internet was like before the corporations destroyed it.
