Did we build the world wide web or did we just shitpost for the lulz for decades without realizing we gave all the benefits of our shitposting to Mark Zuckerberg?

We gave it all to spez by abandoning all the little crappy forums because they were kinda crappy.

Hey now, the real benefits of shitposting were the bans we got along the way.

Well, we went from shitposting in niche, independently run, forums, to doing it on corporate platforms that spy on you. So I don't think that the shitposting itself is necessarily the issue here
