99% of the texts and phone calls I receive are scams.
99% of my email inboxes are full of ads and scams.
99% of the mail in my real mailbox is ads and scams.
Most of my notifications on twitter/tumblr/twitch are from bots.
Every single app or site I use to watch TV or videos or listen to music or whatever floats a bunch of garbage to the top that I have to scroll past every single time I open it.
Scammers and bots and SEO bullshit and AI and ads and paywalls and a perfect storm of a thousand other shitty things has rendered most of the internet unusable.
None of that is here. The site was not designed from the ground up in the most actively hostile and annoying way possible. Everyone on here is a real person, and nobody's trying to scam me, and when someone's trying to sell something they're being Normal about it. It's so refreshing.
So truly, THANK YOU cohost for being one of the last remaining places where I don't constantly have to feel like I'm sifting through a landfill just to be allowed to use something for its intended purpose
