Also, don't post an image (and then tag it as NSFW‽) for a text post!
If I'm looking for a text post, maybe I want to read discussion, and I see an image, I'll skip it.
If I want to see images, and then see something that makes no sense and has no context, I'll be irritated and confused when I realize it's a nonsequitur attachment to a text post.
That's fair, but I feel like the point is that many people go through a process where
You pay money
The buttons on your screen say "buy" "purchase" "check-out" or something else to that effect
That feels like buying media, so according to the common "consumer" (hate that word) brain, you are spending money to buy content.
At the same time, media corps have been trying to teach us for years that piracy is exactly the same as stealing.
The whole point of the shorthand is to explain that these are not facts, they're misconceptions, AND both of these misconceptions exist for the same reason, corporate propaganda.
Definitely very neat.
Completely not what the article calls it.
I mean, it's like calling a car modeling/customization webpage a Forza clone.
Or calling Mick Gordon's YouTube page a DOOM clone.
