    I never even signed up for Twitter.

    The modern internet makes me want to live in a cave and grow moss.

      That isn’t an accident.

      There is this insight that I remember reading about internet scams, that they are poor quality with lots of misspelling by design. According to what I’ve read, this acts as a useful filter: If you’re smart enough to pick up on things like misspellings, we don’t want to waste our time scamming you.

      That is now essentially the entire ethos of the modern internet.
