The “after” version looks better to my eyes…

I’m often surprised by how active and “engaged” the comment section can get, especially on live videos.

[TikTok is] the most popular Social Media Platform

I’m not calling you a liar, but this is news to me. Do you have any data to back up that assertion?

That sounds like something a perv into CSAM would say.

I like the cut of your jib.

Can’t be bothered to double-check cuz I really don’t care

If you throw away perfectly fine physical copies, you are just contributing to the ever-increasing plastic waste poisoning our ecosystems, and if you sell them then your digital copies are now illegal. Just put them in a disc binder and stick 'em in a closet for fuck sake!

Awesome post. As a former IT person who has worn many other hats over the years, I couldn’t agree with you more.
