I found this pretty fascinating (something like a mix of McLuhan, Marx, and Greenberg) and the comments here incredibly inane. There IS a substantial opinion being presented here about the reticence of tech critics to observe the more fundamental socioeconomic issues underlying many problems in tech, and the fact that people are complaining about $.50 words here would provide enough ironic fodder for even the shittiest tech critics.

The core complaint of the comment which mentioned "$.50 words" wasn't the existence of the words themselves, but the low information density. It's hard to take your criticisms of inanity and irony seriously when you're clearly misunderstanding what people are saying.
