        Ope! Too late. You became the butt of the joke. People without self introspection always making themselves the butt of the joke.
        Doubly so, because all the web sites you named from back in the day were as heavily monetized as they could have been at the time.

            Replying to you.
            You’re still the butt and not able to get it.

            I’m sure if you keep talking you’ll dig yourself out of that hole and show who the real idiot is.

      I literally could not care less if you disapprove of my response to literally anything.

      Two things can be true at once. Were our memes peak? No! We’re they at least not slightly veiled advertisement? Maybe the vast minority.

      Nothing is “just satire”. The point of satire is to be taken seriously to some degree and to be thought about. It has failed its purpose if it doesn’t criticise something, even the tiniest aspect of something.
