@Butterphinger @RidcullyTheBrown I deeply feel that you are right... but if you say such things, like "walled gardens via client access", I think you have a brain problem.

Wtf is a "walled gardens via client access"?

Walled gardens are places like Facebook/Twitter/X where one company controls everything you see and do while on the platform.

Client access just means you have to login to see anything. (Again, like Facebook.) Some platforms let you view content without loggon in, but forcing you to create a login gives them a way to start tracking your behaviors and interests.
