Moving pointers mean most people (including me) will never read the actual content, so we might as well discuss why someone would choose to alienate their potential audience in this manner.
- dewey 2y agoSometimes alienating can be intentional.

- dewey 2y agoSome people also just want to have fun on the internet, remember Myspace, Tumblr etc? These sites were hardly functional, inclusive or accessible but they sure were fun.
