the funny thing about this is how it only got easier the more i looked into it to the point that there's literally zero reason for tags not to be shown normally

wguh? i just wanted to buy a plain tkl mechanical keyboard with no rgb or usb ports or OLED screens or custom enthusiast switches or fancy media controls to use at work. why are all of these similar in price to or outright more expensive than the dedicated Nice keyboard i bought for my home machine

well . i guess that's a solution to the artist's alley problem. really really funny though

hilariously that sort of kludge solution does actually mean they can sidestep breaking their "no ads, ever" policy. they aren't technically serving ads if they just have a project page with a bot scraping the classifieds page in its backend

that's such a makeshift solution that it feels kind of embarrassing? i get that web engineering is Hard and i can't really say anything as someone who only has to fix things within an existing system but like. after telling people to just continually check posts on @artist-alley to see if users are commenting on their listing (because you can't comment on the listings themselves, mentions aren't notifying, and the notification framework supports nothing outside of posts You Made on your Current Active Page), when does it become easier to just...implement new features (gasp) instead of continually mucking around with temporary solutions
