the invectives of “what did you expect?” seem at best tangential to the author’s intent here. sounds like they’re just trying to express perspective, not mount an argument with a specific aim.

to the author’s point, wasn’t it great when the internet had convinced itself that “zero sum”/scarcity were an unnecessary constraint of a physically constrained world? that ideal may not have shaken out, but there’s no reason to disparage someone for lamenting it (especially when they’ve actually put sweat into that vision).

not everything is a pitch. speech isn’t always an an advertisement or a polemic.
